Come live out your homesteading dreams in this serene property with stunning territorial views of the Olympic Mountains. 2 hours to Seattle. 45 min to Port Townsend. 0 minutes to nature.
At the end of a private road through an enchanted forest sits this magical homestead compound.
Nestled in the foothills of the Olympic National Forest just minutes away from the infamous Hood Canal, the Brinnon, Washington homestead is a step into serenity.
As you drive up the private road of Briarwood Lane, your consciousness moves to another realm. Out the window, a blanket of green kindly welcomes you in as you slowly whirl past an evergreen forest of firs and hemlocks.
Passing through the gate, you come upon several acres of pasture with a two-horse stall barn. A 40’ covered awning for an RV is tucked away off the drive and is complete with 50 amp electrical service, concrete pad, and water.
The canopy opens up at the end of the lane to reveal what is best described as a compound set amongst nature. The modest and modern main house boasts vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan, inviting a lively conviviality into the space.
In the summer, this area is covered with 15 year old grape vines as it is perfectly situated to the south.
Large windows face southward, flooding the space with a warm glow of natural light. The interior views expose a breathtaking scene of lush green rainforest where clouds slowly dance among the mountaintop. In this spot, cozy indoors, you can observe the many hummingbirds and Steller Jays that call these treetops home.
The covered wrap-around porch connects the main house to the garden suite accessory dwelling unit (ADU). This charming space is a large studio complete with a full kitchen and bathroom. It currently serves as a highly sought out vacation rental that draws visitors from near and far. On the roof of the ADU are the solar PV panels that heat the hot water, while below the living space is an oversized, two-car garage and half bath.
For the avid gearheads, across the driveway is an additional two-car garage with a workspace, storage, and pantry.
Beyond the home is where the true potential lies. The property boundary is a rushing seasonal creek that provides a peaceful soundscape. As you meander through, you’ll discover a blissful stop at the meditation pond, which is full of koi fish and salamanders. Beyond this are raised beds with perennial fruit trees, a greenhouse complete with power and water for year-round growing, two commercial-grade mushroom cultivating greenhouses, an old shed perfect for storage, and much more. Surrounding the property is forest and trails well used by deer and elk.
This property is perfect for someone that values natural beauty and wants to live close to the land. The seller would like it to go to someone who won’t exploit the land by clear-cutting the forest that she has stewarded over several decades. Homestead, horses, boutique winery, vacation rental, farm, retreat space. The options are endless.
For those looking for more than the 11.89 acres of land, inquire about the additional 7-acre parcel to the north that can be added as part of the sale. This parcel is currently fully forested but does have its own petite hydroelectric powerhouse that captures the energy from the rushing creek.
Currently, the electricity is sold to the electric company for approximately $5,000 per year. Still, it could be configured to provide electricity to enable you to be completely self-sufficient and off-grid.
