One of the few opportunities in this gated forest reserve currently priced below assessed value—offering nearly 20 acres, privacy, and the chance for instant equity with similar homes nearby selling for $1M. Tucked just inside the reserve on a paved road, this custom rambler blends comfort, function, and peaceful Northwest living. Beautifully refreshed with new interior and exterior paint and a nearly new roof. The home features vaulted ceilings, Italian tile floors, soapstone counters, stainless appliances, and warm, inviting gathering spaces. Cozy up by the gas fireplace or woodstove, then retreat to the spa-inspired primary suite with a jetted soaking tub—your private escape after a day outdoors. The insulated third garage bay doubles as a heated shop with 220 power and a half bath—ideal for projects, hobbies, or extra workspace. Outside you'll find expansive patios, a hot tub, fenced backyard, dog run, RV parking, carport with power and a barn with tack room and hay storage. Step outside to miles of private trails, lakes, picnic areas, and peaceful forest paths perfect for riding, hiking, or evening walks in this equestrian-friendly community. Private yet convenient—just 15 minutes to Yelm and 45 minutes to Lacey or Tacoma with easy access to JBLM. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths plus a den/bonus room, this property offers the perfect balance of space, lifestyle, and built-in value.
