Stunning Renovated Farmhouse with Guesthouse on 9+ Acres in Olalla

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity beckons from this rare and remarkable 9+ acre property nestled in beautiful Olalla just north of Gig Harbor. Built in 1922, this farmhouse has been lovingly renovated to perfection, and now this lodge-inspired retreat is ready for its next chapter. In addition to the main home, you’ll find a charming guesthouse, a detached 3-bay garage, and amenities ready to make your hobby farm dreams come true! Located at 3175 SE 160th Street Olalla, WA 98359 less than 12 minutes to Highway 16, shopping, dining and more, this dynamic Olalla hobby farm is listed for $1,350,000. Plus, the home and guesthouse come fully furnished! 

Perfectly positioned in an idyllic setting, this property is straight from a storybook. An orchard with apple, pear, prune, fig, and walnut trees offer farm-fresh produce. Forested Pacific Northwest wonder and wildlife surrounds, deer love calling this retreat their sanctuary, and pastures offer your critters tranquil space to roam. You can simply enjoy this park-like property as is, or you could turn it into a horse property, or the hobby farm that you’ve always wanted! 

A covered front porch with South American Iron Wood greets you, and this home’s cedar shingle siding adds to the rustic character. Relax on the front porch and take in the scene, and as soon as you step inside, this 1922 renovated farmhouse is ready to impress. It’s immediately clear why this home is fondly referred to as “Deer Creek Lodge” by the seller; there’s also a creek on the property, and the home boasts lodge-like design throughout. Over the past 20 years, the sellers remodeled, curated, and rebuilt every detail, bringing their unique vision to life. They dreamed of creating a magical farm getaway ideal for gathering, and now this masterpiece is ready for even more years of making memories! 

Each element has been expertly crafted, with special attention to true “in period” craftsmanship. Gorgeous doors, timeless millwork, refurbished antique light fixtures, and rich hardwood floors are a few of the incredible details that await at every turn. In the pristine chef’s kitchen, just a few highlights include the Subzero fridge, Wolf gas & electric range, and quartz counters. The living room features a wood burning stone fireplace, with stones sourced from the creek on the property. And the formal dining room with its built-in cabinet and attractive wood accents is ready for gathering! 

When it’s time to unwind, the spacious primary suite on the main level checks all of the boxes! French doors lead to a covered deck with views of wildlife, the grounds, and the creek, and there’s also a walk-in closet and ensuite bath (complete with a clawfoot tub and custom vanity with Corian counters). Upstairs, discover 3 bedrooms and a full bath, while on the lower level you’ll find a family room, full bath, utility room, and workshop. 

Hosting guests is a true joy—this property features a 432-square-foot guesthouse (which comes fully furnished). 1 bedroom and 1 full bath are at the ready, while a cute sunny kitchen promises privacy. 

This is only the beginning—the rest of this Olalla property is ready for your imagination to get to work! There’s a detached 864-square-foot garage with 3 bays, a metal roof, and 200 AMP service that feeds the guesthouse. A run-in shed/barn with a paddock and water and power is the perfect spot for your critters, while fenced pastures are just waiting to be explored. A greenhouse and other outbuildings offer flexibility for your hobby and horse farm vision, and that’s only the beginning!
