About This Home

Discover a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a parklike estate property nestled on nearly 60 acres of pristine Pacific Northwest wilderness—truly private sanctuary and rare investment opportunity. At its heart lies an 8-acre private lake, the serene headwaters of Haynie Creek, where salmon return to spawn and wildlife flourishes across the landscape. Miles of manicured trails and forested roads wind through towering evergreens, offering endless exploration, nature immersion, and absolute tranquility. The custom-built residence is thoughtfully designed for comfort and luxury, with a grand primary suite that spans the entire upper floor, featuring a cozy gas stove, dual walk-in closets, and a private deck overlooking nature’s beauty. Each level provides its own bedroom and bath, along with versatile living spaces: a spacious main-floor living room and rec room with wet bar, a media room, fitness area, and a secure safe room. Amenities include a 2,280 sq. ft. heated shop with half bath and loft storage, a 550 sq. ft. greenhouse with auto-louvers, a large chicken coop, covered dog run, and an automatic 30-kW generator for self-sufficiency. The property’s natural beauty and privacy are unmatched, offering a rare blend of serenity and convenience just minutes from Blaine, Bellingham, and Vancouver, BC. As a “working” tree farm, it offers significant tax-deferred investment potential. MUST SEE TO TRULY APPRECIATE.
