About this property

On a 40 acre estate, outdoor soaking tub, fire pit, hammocks, pet friendly!

Forest Cabin is a tiny house with a loft sleeping area that is 380 sf of coziness & solitude located on a larger 40 acre estate. Wake to a peekaboo view through the forest canopy & Puget Sound, relax in the outdoor clawfoot tub, rest in a hammock and watch the chickens and ducks peck about. Walk 5 minutes across the field to access 1000 ft of private, southern exposure Puget Sound beach. Enjoy a fire in the wood stove (wood provided)! Leashed pets are welcome with an additional $40 pet fee.

The chickens and ducks meander outside your door. In the summer there are two hammocks in the trees for r & r. The beach southenrn exposure beach with Mt. Rainier view is 5 minutes away through the forest trails, and there is plenty of room for walking in solitude on the estate.

There is plenty of wood around for a fire in the fire pit or at the beach (unless conditions are too dry - check with Lisa prior to lighting any fire, please!). There is an outdoor propane bbq for grilling,

Why they chose this property

I grew up on Vashon and knew about the property because it is adjoining my parents property, so I made an offer on a whim, and it was accepted. That was 29 years is an ideal place to live in every way: 20 minutes to the ferry, 30 minutes to downtown Seattle on the passenger ferry or 40 minutes on the Fauntleroy/West Seattle ferry. Plenty of room to ride horses on the beach, roads, and there is a great horse park on the island.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, quiet, tranquility, 14" of rain on this side of the islland and 46" on the opposite side. A 40 acre forested property with a fabulous beach to walk. Deer, otter, seals, heron, eagles, and the occasional Orca or Humpback.
