Escape to this exceptional, fully permitted off-grid retreat surrounded by giant madrona, oak, fir, maple and hazelnut trees. The heart of the home features an inviting living space with vaulted ceilings, bright skylights, and a striking round stone hearth to keep you cozy during cooler months.

The main floor offers flexible living with a living room, a utility bathroom, and an adjacent room perfect for a home office or a third bedroom. Engineered for complete independence, the property features a private well, septic system, and a meticulously maintained, fully owned infrastructure including a solar system, propane tanks, a generator, and a brand-new on-demand water heater. The 800-square-foot dry basement houses the water filtration and power conversion systems, leaving abundant space for storage or future finishing. Outside, the 7+ acre property guarantees ultimate privacy, bordered by serene wetlands that offer year-round bird watching. Set back from a quiet gravel road, the acreage includes an overgrown fenced garden with a chicken coop on one side of the driveway and an orchard on the other.
