Nestled alongside the Capital Forest, seven-tenths of a mile along a road less travelled, this country retreat is perfect for dreamers and doers, writers and readers, tinkers and thinkers. So much more than just a house, the property is a rural treasure, wooded and secluded, with no view of other dwellings. Far from suburban commotion, the birds, deer, rabbits, frogs, and squirrels remind you that the best things in life are wild and free. When you need a moment of introspection, you can visit Waddell Creek via the walking and fishing easement attached to the property or choose one of several footbridges that lead to an extensive trail system in the state forest. And if all that solitude isn’t enough, tucked between the trees and the old-growth stumps behind the main house is a rustic cabin, divided into a shop in front, studio in back, and loft above. There, surrounded by the woodsy fragrance of a Northwest forest and sheltered beneath the soft patter of rain on a metal roof, you are free to design, create, paint, or just dream — the choice is always your own. The main house is warm and cozy with a woodstove, vaulted ceilings, and high-speed internet — a perfect nest for the free spirit who wants more than just a house.
