Yes, a single-family home is allowed as an accessory use to the approved farm operation under Auburn's city code. The city has already approved an Agricultural Use Plan that includes a one-acre chestnut orchard and an accessory single-family home. A 1.5-acre building envelope has been identified near the road, where power is also nearby. Buyers should confirm the specific placement of a house, well, and septic within that designated envelope and verify all Agriculture and Resource Protection requirements with the city.

The City of Auburn has approved an Agricultural Use Plan for a one-acre chestnut orchard. This means a buyer can step directly into a ready concept rather than starting the approval process from scratch. Potential uses also include a market garden, hobby farm, pollinator habitat with trails, or a low-maintenance homestead.

There are wetlands at the rear of the property, which limit disturbance in that area. However, the identified 1.5-acre building envelope is located up near the road and is not affected by the rear wetlands. The wetlands actually serve as a natural buffer and wildlife corridor, adding privacy and habitat value to the back acreage.

The 2024 property taxes were only $205, which is quite low for a 7.7-acre parcel. Buyers should confirm current tax figures with the local assessor, as taxes can change.
