Tucked away on five peaceful acres near the end of Stein Road, this property feels like a true escape from it all. It offers a rare level of privacy and calm that is getting harder and harder to find. The home features 936 square feet of living space on the main floor with 2 bedrooms and a beautifully tiled bathroom.

A dedicated fire pit, private trails through the timber, fenced pastures, fruit trees and wide-open meadow space invite you to step outside and fully enjoy the land.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince moving to Ferndale in 2019 I have been impressed with the sense of community and support offered to students in the Ferndale School District. While I’ve lived in other school districts with “better” ratings I’ve never seen a community come out in support of the kids the same way Ferndale does. The educators care about their students. Where there is an opportunity is a greater focus on academics. Especially in the elementary levels. I think if the academics were more robust in the elementary schools these kids would be better prepared to excel in high school. Occasionally I’ve needed to nudge the school district in the right direction when they stopped offering things like the PSAT. But overall I believe Ferndale did a good job preparing my kids to succeed at the next level.Parent Review1y ago - Horizon Middle School
