It’s hard to believe that a little over a decade ago, this Sauvie Island plot was just a sheep pasture. And yet, that’s exactly what Vail Fletcher and Greg Stamp purchased in 2013. The blank slate has since become the Croft Farm, a seven-acre compound of four buildings that’s home to 11 sheep and two alpacas (Tamba and Layla). Now, the compound, farm, and its animals are on the market for the first time.

The main house went up first, in 2013. It’s 1,400 square feet, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a detached, 440-square-foot studio connected via a deck. A project of local design-build firm Green Hammer utilizing the ultra-efficient “passive house” construction philosophy, it’s certified platinum (the highest efficiency rating) by the climate-conscious development consultancy Earth Advantage.

All four buildings are capped and wrapped in rust-colored steel to echo the nearby Wapato Bridge, with large windows capturing far-reaching views of the surrounding land. The couple called their design ethos “clean lines and sunshine,” and the interiors reflect that, with wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and sleek built-ins befitting a stylish yet utilitarian farmhouse.

While the detached studio is a small, dreamy place to work, exercise, or make some art—it has its own bathroom and private entrance—the 1,880-square-foot barn, built in 2017, is fit for large-scale endeavors. Designed by local architect Yianni Doulis, the barn is clad on two sides in untreated cedar installed in a reverse board-and-batten pattern that warms up the wraparound covered porch.

Sure, there is plenty of room for agrarian activities in here: harvesting honey from the dozen beehives (the Croft has a collaboration with Jacobsen Salt Co.), storing the harvest, pressing cider, and running a farm stand. The couple run a blueberry U-pick on-site, as well as an heirloom tomato CSA that makes use of the property’s two greenhouses. But the barn can pull off other tricks. The interior has white-primed shiplap walls, unfinished concrete floors, and a Jøtul wood-burning stove, making for a very pretty backdrop for an assortment of gatherings. The building has hosted everything from food swaps and farm school to weddings and corporate retreats.

And there is still more. In 2018, the couple commissioned Doulis to add a 360-square-foot attached ADU to the main house, called Tu Casa, which has its own bedroom, bathroom, and covered porch. (It’s a permitted short-term rental and goes for $150/night on Airbnb.) The ADU stays true in style to all the buildings that came before, with concrete floors, a stylish kitchenette, and lighting from Schoolhouse. “We really wanted to showcase the changing landscape,” Fletcher told Dwell in a 2018 profile. “Migrating birds; seasonal crops; hay fields; pastures full of sheep, goats, and horses—all can be viewed from the bed.”

If a turnkey working farm is your dream, this is it.
