A Legacy Estate Overlooking Elk Lake—First Time Offered in Over 35 Years Some properties don’t just house families—they nurture generations. This extraordinary 5.23-acre estate, with dual access from Forest Hill and Doyle Road, is one of those rare places. Overlooking Elk Lake with sweeping views to the Olympic Mountains, it’s a cherished landscape of established orchards, abundant fruit and nut trees, terraced vegetable gardens, and gently sloping fields where animals have roamed freely for decades. Trails lead down through the trees to lakefront pathways, inviting connection with nature at every turn. The main residence is over 3,000 sq.ft. of thoughtfully designed one-level living, with four bedrooms each featuring its own ensuite. Every window frames a view of the land that has been so lovingly tended. The heart of the home—a spacious kitchen and family room—flows to an expansive outdoor deck with a handcrafted brick forno oven, evoking long European summer evenings and memorable family gatherings. Downstairs, a walk-out one-bedroom suite offers independent space with its own entrance and outdoor patio. A second home—perfect for extended family, guests, or caretakers—features 2 to 3 bedrooms and its own double garage. Rarely do properties like this come to market. Held in the same family for over 35 years, this is more than a home. It’s a story waiting to be continued, a place to plant roots and create lasting memories for generations to come. (id:31684)
