Tucked away on just under 5 beautiful acres, spanning two parcels, this custom built, peaceful & private 3-bedroom, 1-bath log-cabin retreat, with a shop, detached garage and carport, is only minutes from Hwy 16, Seattle ferry, medical and shopping amenities, yet feels a world away. Specially curated botanical gardens span both parcels, with winding paths, a cascading water feature, fountain, two greenhouses, fruit trees, berry plants, with specialty trees and flowers from around the world. A deer-proof fenced area is ideal for growing vegetables, and a private well provides plentiful water at no additional cost, throughout the year. These exceptional gardens have been featured in West Sound and Fine Gardening magazines, as well as at the Seattle Garden Show. Inside, the soaring, 2-story river-rock chimney, crafted from stones harvested around the local mountains, provides a warm focal point for the home and serves as the primary heat source. A 50-year roof was installed on the main house and well house in 2019 with a transferrable warranty. The property also offers a large carport with room for an RV and boat, plus a detached garage and shop for woodworking, hobbies, projects, and/or storage. Filled with natural beauty, character, privacy, and potential, this one-of-a-kind property offers a peaceful garden sanctuary and an exclusive, creative retreat.
