This unique property is a hidden gem that must be seen to be appreciated! Set on 5.91 park-like acres with TWO remarkable homes, a private pond, and stunning Mt. Baker views, it offers the perfect blend of privacy, beauty, and income potential. Ideally located just 10 minutes from amenities in a highly sought-after area, the property feels like a private resort. The thoughtfully designed custom home captures breathtaking mountain views and overlooks the serene landscape, while the cozy pondside cabin operates as a successful VRBO. Meticulously maintained and tastefully updated, the main home features soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic entry, expansive windows, granite countertops, and inviting living spaces centered around a striking double-sided fireplace. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level. Downstairs offers a second full kitchen, additional bedroom, bathroom, laundry area, and private entrance—ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or added rental income. The charming VRBO cabin is a rare retreat, featuring 1 bedroom and 1.25 baths along the shore of a private trout-stocked pond where guests can relax, fish, swim, and enjoy abundant wildlife. Both homes offer expansive decks, private hot tubs, and beautiful views, creating the ultimate setting for relaxation and entertaining. A rare opportunity to own a versatile, income-producing estate in an unforgettable Pacific Northwest setting.
