Surrounded by the sound of wind in the treetops, and the smell of the pine woods; tucked away on 5.61 lush private acres in the sought-after Kachess Ridge area, this one-of-a-kind hand-crafted mountain retreat cradles you in the spirit of Pacific Northwest living. While you have the abundance of nature at your doorstep, the location gives you easy access to four seasons of outdoor activities at Snoqualmie Pass, Lake Cle Elum, Lake Kachess campground and boat launch, and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Inside, the home features natural wood wainscoting, a vaulted tongue and groove wood ceiling, custom carved wood railing, a stained glass window accent in the staircase, and an epic wood-burning fireplace that anchors two floors of cozy living space. Sturdy 2x6 construction throughout, and a snow-shedding roof keeps the inside cozy on winter nights. Main level offers tile flooring and carpet, bedroom, full bath with double sinks, ample storage space, laundry hookups, functional kitchen, and a slider access to a spacious, private deck surrounded by forest. Upstairs two additional finished rooms, currently used as bedrooms, a loft space for flexible sleeping or rec room, plus a treehouse-like balcony. Just minutes off I-90, savor peaceful mountain views, incredible privacy and quiet, and feels like a world away. Kachess Ridge owners also enjoy access to 180 acres of community trails plus private waterfront access. Your mountain chalet is ready to host your outdoor adventures!
