Rare opportunity to own just shy of 20 acres in Elma featuring a beautifully renovated 4-bedroom farmhouse surrounded by open pasture, mature timber, and established fruit-bearing trees. Century-old blueberry bushes, a year-round creek, seasonal pond, apple and pear orchard, two shop areas, and an RV pad all contribute to the property's character. The farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original charm. Abundant natural light fills the home, complemented by a brand-new kitchen, new roof, updated foundation, renovated bathrooms, and a walkout basement that provides additional flexible living space. An older 3-bedroom, 1-bath single-wide, previously used as a rental, is situated on a separate meter and will remain with the property.Tucked away in a private setting, yet located approximately 35 minutes from Olympia, just minutes from downtown Elma, and within easy reach of Grays Harbor amenities, this property offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy country living without sacrificing convenience. All while taking advantage of the space, privacy, and versatility this unique property has to offer.
