Wake up to views of the Twin Sisters and the foothills in this large, cozy home on 23 acres of classic pastoral farmland just minutes from Acme! This home features two large living rooms, fully equipped kitchen with eat-in bar and walk in pantry, separate mudroom/laundry room with extra freezer, clerestory windows, wood burning fireplace, two dining areas, HUGE primary bedroom with ensuite bath, 3 additional bedrooms and more! In the kitchen you'll find tons of counter space and storage, with a layout that is perfect for entertaining. The property features a historic barn that has been used for cattle and horses, additional woodshed, multiple decks, and a 2nd driveway for access to the pasture. The bones here are strong, with a slab foundation and cinderblock perimeter skirting - it just needs some TLC to be restored back to glory. With it's own private septic and a well that provides good, clear glacier fed water. Incredibly private location with the railroad berm behind the home, very few other homes in sight. Pasture has good soil quality and is currently leased to a local farmer - continue leasing for the income, create your own homestead hobby farm, or do a mixture of both! Located about halfway between Deming and Sedro Woolley, and with Lake Whatcom a short drive away, the Acme valley is prized for it's beauty and serenity.

The primary purposes of this district are to implement the agricultural designation of the Comprehensive Plan, established pursuant to RCW 36.70A.170, preserve, enhance and support the production of food and fiber in Whatcom County, to maintain a sufficiently large agricultural land base to ensure a viable agriculture industry and to maintain the economic feasibility of supporting services. Whatcom County supports agricultural activities as the highest priority use in the Agriculture District, with all other uses being subordinate to agricultural activities. Whatcom County seeks to minimize conflict with surrounding zoning districts, in conjunction with Chapter 14.02 WCC, Right to Farm. In order to limit the further fragmentation of the commercial agricultural land base, the Agriculture District includes smaller areas of land with poorer quality soils or nonagricultural uses, which do not meet the definition of agriculture lands of long-term commercial significance.; A secondary purpose of this district is to serve as a holding district when located within the urban growth area Comprehensive Plan designation to allow agricultural uses in the near term while protecting the area from suburban sprawl and preserving the potential for future urban development consistent with the protection of the resource land.
