Welcome to Harvest Hill & Permaculture Gardens

Ready for backyard chickens and a fully edible landscape?

Enjoy fruit trees, berry bushes, perennial and annual vegetable + herb gardens, and native landscaping. This corner lot is a model for regenerative living today.

The owner — a permaculture design course student — has created a stewarded haven in the celebrated Wexford Village Neighborhood of West Madison.

Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems.

It includes a set of design principles derived using whole-systems thinking. It applies these principles in fields such as regenerative agriculture, town planning, rewilding, and community resilience.

Permaculture originally came from “permanent agriculture” but was later adjusted to mean “permanent culture”, incorporating social aspects.

The 1,704 square foot home in the friendly and quiet Wexford Village neighborhood features an open floor plan with ample natural light, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and patio made for right-sized living.

Put your mind at ease with recently updated siding, roof, gutters, furnace, water heater, appliances, and garage door.

The large 0.29 acre lot is on a relaxing cul-de-sac yet close to multiple parks, ponds, libraries, restaurants, and numerous shopping opportunities.

Stroll, skate, saunter, or scooter over the miles of paved paths that weave between cul de sacs and through acres of village commons.

Frequent events bring residents together in Wexford Park, the Community Gardens, and the numerous natural areas that border the neighborhood.
