Tucked away on nearly five peaceful acres, this charming woodland cottage offers a rare opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply and imagine what's next. Whether you're seeking a quiet weekend escape, a writer's retreat, a basecamp for outdoor adventures, or the perfect place to build, this special property invites endless possibility. Designed, built and occupied by its architect, this one bedroom, one bath home reflects an enduring philosophy of living in harmony with nature. A partially finished basement provides flex space for hobbies, storage or future expansion, while the approved three bedroom septic opens the door to something even larger. Live comfortably in the cottage while you design and build-out or simply embrace its simplicity and the slower pace of life. Surrounded by towering evergreens and the quiet beauty of the Pacific Northwest, you'll enjoy privacy and seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Spend your mornings exploring nearby trail systems, afternoons golfing at White Horse Golf Club or head to the Indianola General Store for coffee and a bite before catching one of the area's many nearby beach accesses. When city amenities call, the Edmonds ferry is just 15 minutes away, making commuting or weekend getaways remarkably convenient. Whether your vision is a tranquil haven, a custom home nestled among the trees or a place where architecture and nature coexist, this property offers the space, infrastructure and setting to make it happen.
