A Rare Permaculture Hobby Farm Paradise in Honea Path, South Carolina. Nestled in the rolling hills of Anderson County, Putney Farm is more than a property - it's a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a thriving hub for sustainable living. Spanning nearly 10 picturesque acres with the front 4 acres in open pasture, this chemical-free, no-till homestead has been lovingly designed with permaculture principles to live in harmony with nature while sharing those skills. From the moment you turn down the long, tree-lined drive, you'll feel the shift - the quiet hum of a healthy ecosystem, the gentle cluck of a chicken flock roaming freely, and the whisper of wind through mature trees. Every inch of this property has been shaped with purpose and care, creating a place where people, plants, and animals thrive together. Turnkey Homestead. 1986 single-wide mobile home (detitled, permanent foundation), 2BR/2BA. Outbuildings, a two-story barn-style structure, storage areas, loading dock, nursery zone, multiple coops, and all farm equipment, tools, nursery pots, and plants convey with the sale. Ample parking is available, including a designated parking area outside the main gate for guests or event attendees. Nature at Your Doorstep. Safe, meandering walking trails weave through pasture, forest, and along a sparkling creek - ideal for grounding hikes, forest bathing, foraging walks, or meditative strolls. The property is designated as a wildlife sanctuary, allowing you to display an official sign and enjoy year-round visits from countless species. Pollinator & Wildlife Haven. Putney Farm is designed to feed pollinators 12 months a year - something is always in bloom from early spring to late winter. A beekeeper's paradise, with abundant natural forage for honeybees and habitat for butterflies, moths, and native pollinators. Hummingbirds arrive early and stay late, sipping nectar without the need for feeders. It's also a birdwatcher's dream, with resident and migrating species - including the elusive Pileated Woodpecker, a rare sign of healthy old-growth forest. Rich Living Soil. Nearly two decades of careful stewardship have created deep, black, living organic soil, the foundation for abundant harvests and thriving ecosystems. Water Features & Natural Pest Control. Small water features attract amphibians and dragonflies, providing natural mosquito control - no chemicals needed. Specialty Plantings & Food Forest. Several varieties of figs, native plums, and a diverse permaculture food forest flourish here, along with culinary herbs, native medicinal plants, and Chinese Traditional medicinal plantings. Everything planted is edible or medicinal - a testament to intentional, sustainable design. Educational & Event Venue Potential. This property is ideal for homeschool field trips, adult workshops (permaculture, herbal medicine, food preservation, poultry keeping, crafting, and more), yoga retreats, outdoor weddings, and community gatherings. Open pasture, shaded woods, and creek side areas offer beautiful natural backdrops. Overnight & Event Stays.
