Single Family Residence In Hayward

Some properties are about square footage. This one is about possibility. Set on 10.49 acres of open fields, mature hardwoods and thoughtfully established grounds, this distinctive property is for the buyer looking for more than a traditional country home. The well-maintained 3BR, 2BA residence offers comfortable main-level living with in-floor heat, a freestanding wood stove, sauna and peaceful views across the property. A detached 2-car garage (36x24) with separate heated office adds practical everyday space. What makes this property truly different is everything beyond the home. A late-1800s seasonal event barn (48x48) creates a memorable gathering space with a loft, patio, covered seating areas, nearby seasonal men’s and women’s restrooms (8x16) and an outdoor pavilion (14x20). A separate two-level shop (32x40) offers a spacious main-level work and storage area plus approximately 1,280 finished square feet upstairs, currently used as a bridal preparation space. The setting has been carefully shaped over the years with mature flower gardens, ornamental plantings, apple trees, a raspberry patch, Concord grapevines climbing the historic silos, a fountain, fire-pit and thousands of feet of exterior string lighting woven through mature trees. Rustic fencing creates separation between the private residence and event grounds, while two driveways provide convenient access. An original late-1800s family homestead remains on the property, adding another layer of history and future potential. Much of the event furniture and dcor may also be available for purchase separately. This is not a property that fits neatly into one category. It could be a private country retreat, a creative gathering place, a property for someone who wants room to build something meaningful, or simply a home unlike anything else on the market. For the right buyer, that is exactly the point.
