Take a winding, private driveway from the pressures of life to a peaceful homestead on 1.25 acres. The 1920s farmhouse that awaits has been lovingly restored, maintained, and updated with modern amenities including an exceptional kitchen, a/c, new flooring, and generator connection. Extensive landscaping, garden space, and a greenhouse provide opportunities to cultivate the life you want in a gardener’s paradise. Here, you can stargaze through large dormers on a clear night, watch eagles and deer, enjoy the Certified Wildlife Habitat beyond your door, hear sea lions barking nearby, make cider from your own apples, share crops with neighbors, and live beautifully. This is Steamboat Island at its best, only 20 minutes from Downtown Olympia.
