About the Listing 9838 - 24180

Looking for a character home with total seclusion on the southside? This unique property is unlike anything else. A long driveway winds through a beautiful forest with seasonal creek to a magical setting. The property is 10 acres, with approximately 3 cleared acres of homesite surrounded by dense woods. No other homes are visible. The area around the home is very sunny, with lush raised gardens, an orchard, berries, and a chicken coop with run. This PNW styled custom home is not the typical cookie cutter box you've seen a thousand times. There is a true great room with vaulted ceilings and clerestory, and extensive wood floors. The open kitchen has cherry cabinetry and Corian counters. A cozy free-standing wood stove provides comfortable heat, and there is a 2nd decorative fireplace. Heating and cooling is also provided by ductless mini splits. The large primary bedroom on the main floor has a private deck. The lower floor rec room offers ADU possibilities for a separate suite. 50 year aluminum shingle roof was installed in 2008. Huge 1680 sq ft shop with 220 outlets has multiple rooms for office, storage, parking, or work space. Private well and septic. This home is in the Lk Samish watershed and is not a part of the water adjudication process that burdens the rest of the County. Excellent southside schools: Wade King, Fairhaven, and Sehome. Easy I-5 access makes this a convenient location whether heading north or south. Close to Lake Samish Park for swimming and boating.
