It is ideally located, catering to those desiring a quiet, private lifestyle with quick and easy access to the large metropolis of either Seattle or Vancouver.

There are two barns on the property as well as an indoor arena, multiple outbuildings as well as pastures with New Zealand fencing and could be the ultimate equestrian facility, it could even be an excellent horse show venue! An incredible investment opportunity awaits the savvy buyer. It contains approximately $5 million dollars in timber on property. And contains roughly 52 lots. There have been multiple expressed interests in the individual lots for the vacant land only, ranging from $200k-500k depending on size and views, which gives the buyer the luxury of holding the land or selling certain pieces if desired. The seller has personally refrained from dissecting the property & selling it off in pieces to allow for the possibility of selling it as an untarnished whole to a private individual or investor.
