Go Into Business At The California Cannabis Farm That's For Sale For $925K
If you have ever contemplated leaving the busy city life behind and longing for the days of getting your hands dirty and running your own farm in the country, this might be the perfect opportunity for you. However, you won't be growing prize-winning tomatoes or hustling down rows of corn in a luxurious farmhouse. Instead, this farm's specialty is cultivating cannabis. But, before you scoff at the idea, this farm is completely on the level. Listed for $925,000, not only has the business been growing legal cannabis for several years, but it also is located in a gorgeous spot on the west coast, according to New York Post.
Located in the legendary region of Humboldt County — which has been synonymous with growing quality cannabis since the hippy era of the 1960s — this farm boasts bountiful crops largely due to the richness of the local soil. According to Emerald Farm Tours, the perfect blend of soil conditions, balance of sunlight, enough rain, plus the lack of extreme temperature changes all work together to produce some legendary greens. What once started as the hippy movement relocating from San Francisco's Haight and Ashbury scene to find solace in the beauties of nature quickly turned to cannabis crops being grown illegally away from the watchful eye of the law. However, when California passed a bill in 1996 making the sale of medicinal marijuana legal, per Sacramento County Public Law Library, Humboldt County growers came out of hiding to legitimize their farms.
A look outside of this spacious California cannabis farm
This unique live and work opportunity is situated right on Salmon Creek in Humboldt County, California. With over 38 acres of land attached to the sale, there is plenty of room to explore the wonders of the surrounding nature and cultivate an already existing cannabis farm. Listen to the sounds of the local wildlife as you canoe across the four million-gallon pond located steps from the front door of the home, according to the listing on Realtor. Set in a peaceful, picturesque landscape far from the hustle and bustle of a busy city, you are sure to find tranquility as you spend your days tending to your crops.
When it comes to your new life as a cannabis farmer, the warm west coast environment makes it ideal for year-round growing. This property offers around half an acre of cultivation space for your plants with plenty of watering tanks to ensure that they get the care that they need. A once thriving business in the community, the Emerald Triangle as it's known, contributed to the almost $4.4 billion in estimated sales of legal cannabis in California in 2020, according to Rolling Stone. The growing plots come already complete with an intricate watering system set among a beautiful forested landscape. Also, there is no end to the wondrous wilderness you could visit as this property is located in between the King Range National Conservation Area and Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
Inside this rustic cannabis farm cabin
The rustic main home is a single-family two-story cabin made of a wooden shingled exterior and has 1,200 square feet of living space. Complete with a wooden patio deck that offers picturesque views of the vast woodland as well as the sparkling pond nearby. Built in 1980, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is quaint and ready for you to add your own sense of farmhouse decor. This open concept home is cozy and allows you to move effortlessly from room to room, as seen in photos on the home listing on Realtor. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace that is sure to keep you comfy while you kick up your feet after a satisfying day working with your cannabis plants. There is also a big glass sliding door for you to be able to get out onto the peaceful patio area,
A simple kitchen has everything you need to get you through the day, including the necessary appliances, sensibly sized countertop, plenty of storage on the shelves, plus a little breakfast nook looking out onto the treetops. Just off the kitchen, you find a wooden staircase that leads you to the bedroom of the home that also has a quiet little balcony for you to enjoy. Although the main house needs some TLC, there is no shortage of opportunities and space in order to personalize, renovate, and make this little cabin your own dream home in the woods.
Plenty of outbuildings to take care of your new cannabis business
Aside from the main house, there are also several buildings that can be renovated and decorated to make them suitable for visiting guests, as well as other buildings that are vital to running a successful cannabis business. According to the listing on Realtor, there is a separated two-story dwelling that can be the ideal living space for your guests or quite possibly for workers who help you tend to your growing crops. Shown in pictures to be a clean space, with laminated wood flooring and plenty of windows that allow lots of natural light to come in, it looks like an outdoorsy dream.
Down the way is another outbuilding that provides a large area to hang and dry your crops once the trimming stages of cannabis growth have been reached. High ceilings, meticulously spaced-out wooden beams and open ventilation allow this area to be the optimal place to help you along the various stages of your cannabis growing venture. Although there are some problems plaguing the cannabis market recently, including oversaturation of legal cannabis businesses opening up, causing prices of products to plummet, not to mention daunting regulations to adhere to, according to High Times. This quiet cabin could offer you the acreage of solitude and copious crops you need to make a go of your cannabis-growing dream.
