This home lies on an exclusively private, beautifully treed 7.76 acre lot with crown land to the North and a 40 acre Christmas Tree farm to the West. Entry is through an almost surreal winding country lane with private bridge across Curry Creek (second entry available with access permission). Lot amenities include large pond to the East (useful for irrigation or for those “just lost in thought moments”), 20 gpm well, RV parking, 10’x10’ metal storage shed, large open three bay outbuilding (with many possiblities including animal shelter or extra covered parking). The house has recently under gone extensive renovation in living spaces, yet leaving some opportunity for a personal touch in several areas. The home is approx 95%+ completed, there is still a little finishing to do, but the Owner says “I want to go sailing” so a dramatic pre-completion price drop of $20k has been done, placing this amazing home and property at the rock bottom price of

PET TIP: I hope you have long since taken in your Hummingbird Feeders. They should be taken down in August so the little birds will migrate before winter. I saw a Hummingbird a week ago and thought I wonder if people think of the number that die due to cold they can’t cope with without proper food. If you see any feeders up tell the person to remove them immediately. Hopefully it is not too late.
