Multi home potential with zoning that allows 2 homes, one carriage home & a suite. 7.26 acres with a large fishing pond, orchard, and numerous out buildings that could be used for livestock, hobbies, or storage. The lot's timber of cedar and fir could be financially beneficial to a new owner if you preferred an open homestead to the private seclusion.

Your entry to the property winds through a pastoral setting with magnificent trees and an orchard offering all varieties of fruit bearing trees and raised garden beds. This spacious 5 bedroom, 2 bath, rancher offers panoramic views of the property through large windows overlooking the pond, orchard and wood lot.
