Looking for a cookie-cutter apartment complex where you can hear your neighbor clear their throat through the drywall? Keep scrolling.
If you prefer privacy, an enormous yard, and a neighborhood watch consisting entirely of local wildlife, welcome home.
Tucked safely behind a 6-foot locking privacy fence and security gate, this charming, spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom detached cottage is officially up for grabs.
🦝 The Vibe: Nature Lovers Only
This property doubles as an active animal sanctuary. Your neighbors include a handful of happy, altered outdoor cats, plus local families of raccoons, opossums, squirrels, birds, etc.
Bring your indoor cat(s)? Absolutely. They’ll love the view.
Bring your dog? Soft no. Strictly no dogs allowed on the premises to keep our sanctuary residents safe and stress-free.
Fireworks? Don't even think about it. We keep things tranquil here.
