Description

Shy 80 acre farm with development potential in prime mid-county location. Overlooking the private, treelined lake sits the custom midcentury home, a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath and 3,894 sq ft with an attached garage, vaulted ceilings, picture windows, large deck and a two-story white stone fireplace. The entire property is fenced and cross-fenced for rotational grazing with a cattle guard entrance. Huge cattle barn with equipment parking, hay storage, feed bunkers, winter sacrifice pasture and loafing barn. Bull pasture with lean-to. The Yak barn is roughly 30' X 60' and would be perfect for horses with stalls and a roundpen. Currently the farm is a holistically managed grass-fed beef operation with a well-respected roadside farmstand.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from February 23, 2025

    "This is an absolutely beautiful place to live if you love the outdoors. You can go snowboarding at Mt. Baker (weather permitted) to sailing on Bellingham Bay all in one day. If you love to experience the beauty of all four seasons, and not deal with extreme heat or cold, this is the place to live. Just make sure you have a lot of money otherwise you won’t live comfortably. "
