Tucked into 5 acres of private forest adjacent to the Blanchard Mtn trail system, this one-of-a-kind property offers a retreat into your own woodland sanctuary. Wander through lush gardens & winding trails to the grotto, where you can relax to the sound of your own waterfall. Enjoy the covered outdoor living space, garden, artist's studio, chicken coop, fenced-in yard, and small livestock shelter; a property with space for everything. Inside is every bit as inspiring as its setting, with classic PNW charm designed to highlight the property's natural beauty. The tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings create an atmosphere that is both dramatic and inviting. Lush green views pour in from every window, turning the surrounding landscape into an ever-changing canvas, while wall-to-ceiling windows in the 3 bdrms blur the line between indoors & out. Designed for those craving something beyond the ordinary, this home calls to the artist, hiker, nature lover, and visionary seeking a true showpiece. Watch the property transform into a canopy of green —offering you the rare chance to spend summer exploring, hiking, and creating in your own backyard. The separate artist cabin is an experience all its own, complete w/ a fenced yard, outdoor kitchen & shower, and composting toilet, making it a creative escape, guest space, or immersive nature retreat. This is not an average home—it is a lifestyle, a refuge, and a place where artistry and nature meet in unforgettable adventure.
