If you’ve dreamed of living a secluded, off-grid lifestyle on 20 beautiful acres near Mt. Baker, this one-of-a-kind property deserves a look. Nestled in a peaceful, wooded setting, this high-and-dry acreage offers privacy, natural beauty and a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of the Pacific Northwest. Located just minutes from Mt. Baker and approximately 25 minutes from Bellingham, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—seclusion and convenient access to recreation, amenities and town. The property was logged approximately 25–30 years ago and has since developed into a private, wooded landscape with the feeling of being far removed from it all. All 20 acres is designated in Open Space Forestry, in order to retain its reduced property taxes, but the buyer may choose to remove one acre to build a single family residence. This designation, along with the acreage’s natural setting and proximity to Mt. Baker, makes it a truly distinctive offering. Whether you’re looking for a private retreat, a basecamp for mountain adventures or simply the opportunity to own 20 acres in a remarkable setting, this property offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find. A truly unique piece of land, offered at the price of a recent appraisal for the Estate.
