Beautiful grounds and unique home with art studio/loft is located in the much sought after rural Bow Hill area near the picturesque Chuckanut/Blanchard recreation area famous for their hiking and biking trails. Lake Samish is just up the road for those wanting to fish or water ski and top quality local dining is nearby on Chuckanut Drive and in the fun and artsy town of Edison. This home is centrally located, freeway close, and is just a little over 12 miles away (approximately 15 minutes) from either Burlington or Bellingham yet you feel a world apart on this very private 15.2 acres. This impressive SunRay Kelley 3 bedroom 2 bath home is well built, maintained and very utility friendly. Views of the woods, two large ponds, ferns and creek bank from the house inspire a sense of peace and belonging. There are four trails that run through the ravine and to Colony Creek winding through ferns and runs through the creek and woods. Amazing large second growth trees provide a sense of wonder. SunRay Kelley’s attention to detail is apparent in the craftsmanship of the entire home. Large cedar deck and covered porch, radiant heated slate floors, double sided fireplace and amazing loft ladder make this space special to work in whether it be used as an office, studio or guest quarters. This property has many distinct areas to enjoy and use. Upon entering the private drive the vista opens to acres for lawn, garden beds and water features and a fenced in 40 foot diameter vegetable/flower garden. Raised garden beds allow easy maintenance and provides flowers and vegetables for meals. Mature varieties of both Japanese Maples, cherry trees, pear trees and towering cedars and other evergreens create a very private and park like setting. The two ponds feature trout and bountiful wildlife. There are three smaller ponds with waterfall features. All of this beauty provides the backdrop to a large ravine with a gazebo next to the meandering western portion of Colony Creek which flows the whole length of the property. Huckleberry, Bleeding Heart, Blue Bells, Ferns and Fox Glove grow naturally here. The light that filters through the trees is magical and is an artists delight. The wildlife is abundant with never ending bird watching and visitations by our local deer, rabbits, red and gray squirrels, with occasional chipmunks, and raccoons. This is a special home, a unique home, a magical and artistically detailed home with complete privacy.
