This idyllic escape offers a very special lifestyle opportunity.
** Watch the video which captures the essence of this beautiful property. A pristine and private 12-acre parcel which is a lush oasis with more than 1,300 ft of river frontage on the salmon spawning Koksilah River. Spectacular old growth trees define this remarkable property which has been nurtured and cared for by its current custodians.
The 2,025 sq ft. character home was built circa 1907 and tastefully modernized with geothermal heating/cooling and updated bathrooms and modern kitchen. It has the potential to further develop 1,553 sq ft. on the lower level. Beside the river, the separate 2-bedroom cottage has also been updated.
The picturesque tongue and groove barn, built in 2018, is a meticulous stable with 4 stalls each with water and mattresses plus a tack/feed room with washer/dryer, and grooming area. It includes attached turnouts. Enjoy the natural equestrian lifestyle with 5 well-drained pastures. A naturally well-drained site for a potential outdoor riding ring could be formalized.
There are extensive fences and trails through the woods and field of wild sweet peas. The gardening enthusiast can invigorate the green house and rock walls with established vegetable gardens. This versatile property offers a myriad of opportunities including a possible wedding venue site.
