About this property.

Historic Retreat on 2.28 Acres – Sweeping Views – Just Minutes to Downtown Stanwood A rare opportunity to own a historic homestead, held by just four owners over the past 136 years. Set on 2.28 acres & surrounded by open farmland, this is a setting that offers a level of privacy, openness, and protected views that are increasingly rare & difficult to find. Tucked at the end of a 1,600’ privately owned drive, the property feels peaceful, quiet, and private, like you’re in your own world, yet everything you need is just minutes away in downtown Stanwood. Every window captures something special, from wide-open skies to ever-changing wildlife including Trumpeter swans, eagles, hawks, owls, snow geese, river otters & mink. The home offers a flexible layout with room to evolve over time. A large unfinished basement, designed & elevated w/the natural surroundings in mind, provides excellent space for a workshop, storage, or hobbies. Above, approx. 900 sq ft of attic space w/updated wiring offers future potential for additional living, recreation, or creative space. The land itself invites possibility, with fruit trees, garden space, and open areas to shape your ideal lifestyle. Properties like this, offering both a peaceful, retreat-like setting & close proximity to town are rarely avail. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, multi-generational property, or a retreat-style escape w/income potential, this is a place where the next chapter can truly be your own.
