FOR SALE DREAM HOMESTEAD –
Imagine owning a truly magical 8 acre + property – a stunning workshop retreat center (built 2012) and private 4 bedroom ranch home where dreams unfold and new chapters begin!
This exceptional opportunity is even more irresistible now.
We’ve made some fantastic price adjustments, making it an incredible value, and as a special bonus, we just finished three wonderful rebuilt decks, perfect for enjoying the serene beauty of the backyard views, in solo reflection or to entertain others.
Imagine the seasons changing with the beauty of colored autumn leaves strolling in the back woods and warmth of a bonfire, winter cross country skiing or making snow angels in the meadow, spring perennials blooming at different times, and picking your own organic vegetables in the summer,.. all right at home. The wildlife is amazing, yet with so much nature, they do not bother your flower gardens. You could even ride horses on the hiking trails or have a kids camp out in your own backyard.
The buildings are not visible from the street creating a sense of privacy. However, when you want to pull out the driveway onto the street, the visibility is excellent and the road is flat. There are two green paver parking areas, at the street and at the house. Entering the property onto the asphalt driveway, you pass spacious grassed acreage, a 1600 sq ft fenced organic vegetable garden and a three section compost bins, until you reach the retreat center with sunburst facade and ranch-style house, each with separate entrances.
The house (approx 2,800 sq ft) has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, two fireplaces, kitchen with Viking Range, family room, living-dining room, laundry room, and mudroom with indoor access to the two car garage. There is a deck off the kitchen as well facing the ravine and stream.
Truly unique is the retreat studio addition (approx. 1,600 sq feet) custom built only 13 years ago. The sunburst facade beams joy, the outdoor stone fountain flows in the midst of landscaped beauty, and without any steps you walk into an amazing energy and light filled place that opens your heart. It has 1.5 ADA accessible bathrooms, tiled lobby, refrigerator, and the main room has a hardwood floor with vaulted ceiling, full spectrum lighting and ceiling to floor windows so that you can see the entire backyard and tree line to the woods as if you were outside.
In the back, there are three newly rebuilt attached decks (one outside the house, one with the jacuzzi outside the bedroom/office, one outside the studio retreat building, and another free standing composite deck wired with electrical outlets which is perfect for yoga or live musical performances. The lily pond has a waterfall and I had fun feeding the fish each day! There is a wood shed and utility shed with electrical. The back woods has groomed hiking trails and a meadow for a picnic or to just lie on the earth and heal.
Recent improvements in the last few years include: New roof (2018), New furnace for main house (2020); Home office (4th bedroom) remodeled with new flooring, lighting, remote controlled blinds for virtual meetings, painted (2020); New gutters on west side of house (2022); Basement cracks repaired (2024). The septic system and jacuzzi passed inspections (2025). In June 2025, we put in brand new carpeting and painted the kitchen, front and back hallways, two of the bathrooms, as well as some outside areas. In October, 2025 we finished the three rebuilt decks in the back.

Read more about Bhumi’s Yoga history:
The old adage says, “Bloom where you are planted”, and Bhumi’s Yoga & Wellness Center is no exception. After living 8 years in an ashram as Program Director of the largest residential yoga and wellness facility in North America, Harriet Russell whose yoga name is Bhumi, came home to Cleveland to recuperate from a horseback riding injury. She wanted to be surrounded by like-minded people so she decided to stay and build a yoga community, educating others in a holistic lifestyle. In 1992 the seeds were planted and Bhumi started teaching at various locations including universities, churches, and community centers.
In 1994 as the roots started to take hold, she opened a yoga school in Lakewood. Bhumi’s Yoga & Wellness Center was the first studio of its kind in Northeast Ohio offering a full array of wellness programs. The Bhumi’s Yoga Teacher Training certification course was the first in the Midwest to be nationally recognized by the Yoga Alliance. She also was the first one to introduce yoga into both public and private schools for physical education credit in the area.
The seeds flourished, the students were nourished, and the press and TV soon saw the benefits of yoga in mainstream suburbia. Bhumi was on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox 8, Ch. 43, and full page pieces were written about her and her yoga journey in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sun Herald, and Crain’s Business. Bhumi’s Yoga has hosted some of the yoga community’s biggest celebrities including colleagues Rodney Yee, Doug Swenson and Dean Lerner as well as Spiritual Masters Yogi Amrit Desai (Gurudev) and Yogi Hari.
Just a few short years later, the “one room schoolhouse” type studio in Lakewood was outgrown and transplanted to a larger space in Westlake. There Bhumi was able to offer classes simultaneously with her certified Bhumi’s teachers in several styles of yoga. The community grew to 350 students a week but the individualized approach and community spirit was not compromised.
With her yoga community in full bloom, and teacher training graduates operating their own yoga businesses throughout the community, Bhumi was confident her well-rounded teachers would carry on the path to bring excellent yoga with heart to the NE Ohio area and beyond. She focused on more advanced teacher trainings, specialized workshops and retreats. The community support during this time was most special as Bhumi was also caring for her mother Melva, who had been a regular at yoga class and events for many years.
In 2004, Bhumi‘s Yoga transplanted to an 8 acre wooded property in Columbia Station with hiking trails, small pond and organic garden. Bhumi felt learning can go deeper and students can immerse into themselves if they are in a relaxed environment in nature. In 2012, the new state of the art studio was built with spacious hardwood floor, ceiling to floor windows with stellar views whatever the season, and an outdoor yoga deck. The name changed to Bhumi’s Yoga & Teacher Trainings, although wellness continues in every aspect.
Bhumi’s Yoga & Teacher Trainings continued to be the blooming lotus just beyond the city still sending out plenty of busy yoga bees. Then came the pandemic. Although we were closed for 18 months, and had no new Yoga Teacher Training Certification in 2020/2021, Bhumi was able to help people individually with virtual coaching for personal and professional development. She created Mindfulness Masterminds to bring the power of community together for change makers.
And like seeds travelling in the wind, the inspiration of peace and understanding from over 40 years of yoga takes Harriet Russell (Bhumi) around the world as a speaker on multicultural competence with less stress and more mindfulness.
