Take a Look at this 5-Acre Yelm Property’s Top 3 Not-to-Miss Highlights

SOLD of over list price in just 2 days!!

A truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaits with this expertly developed and lovingly maintained 5-acre Yelm property! In addition to the immaculate 1,764-square-foot rambler that awaits, this property also includes a 30’ x 30’ detached shop and incredible outdoor amenities, all in a secluded atmosphere where you’re surrounded by Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty. Located at 20501 151st Lane SE Yelm, WA 98597, this home-sweet-home is listed for $515,000.

 

There are several standout features that make this Yelm gem an especially attractive prospect—here are this rambler’s top 3 not to miss features:

1. Idyllic country setting and close to outdoor adventure.

First and foremost, for those who dream of being in a tranquil, secluded setting where you can have plenty of privacy and enjoy the sounds of nature, this property offers the ideal opportunity. Tucked away behind a gated entryway and tall trees, this property’s beautiful home and top-notch amenities await. The lush lawn extends to the edge of the natural greenery that frames this picturesque scene.

For those who crave adventure, Yelm is uniquely positioned in that you don’t have to travel far for camping, hiking, trails for horseback riding and mountain biking, fishing, boating and more, and the beautiful Bald Hill area is at your fingertips as well. Yet you’re still only an 11-minute drive into town where you’ll find places like Walmart Supercenter, Safeway, Yelm cinemas, the library, the post office, eateres, and more. You’re also only 30 minutes to Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

 

2. Completely custom with plenty of opportunity to make your own vision come to life.

This property started off as vacant land back in 2015, and since then, the sellers have developed the property on their own. They cleared it, put in all of the hardscaping, had the well and septic installed themselves, and even hired a builder to build the home. The seller then built the shop and put in the yard, and you’ll find a 30’ x 30’ detached shop with power and water that is an absolute dream.

There’s also space for parking an RV, and the yard includes a playscape that stays with the home (but does not include the trampoline). And while this property is certainly stunning as is, you also have the opportunity to make your own vision of home come to life, whether you want to build a greenhouse and garden beds, raise livestock, create a huge deck with a firepit for entertaining, etc. The sky’s the limit here!

3. Gorgeous modern home design.

Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and light-filled, open-concept living spaces, this immaculate home is impressive in its own right and offers easy 1-level living. In the great room, the kitchen is a definite standout, and here you’ll find stainless steel appliances, shimmering quartz counters, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a pantry, and a large island ideal for entertaining.

The sprawling master suite is also especially noteworthy—this sumptuous haven not only offers an extra-large layout, but a huge walk-in closet and a 5-piece ensuite bath that sparkles with spa-inspired style.

This property’s sellers have cherished this home-sweet-home for over a decade now, and while they were first attracted to the home because of its excellent location, there are so many other reasons why they have loved their time here!

“[Our home] is close to stores, restaurants, and Costco at Hawks Prairie,” they shared. “It is in a nice quiet neighborhood with a short walk to the elementary school and the community park at the lake. We loved the home because it sits on a large corner lot with a large backyard that has 2 large cherry trees, 3 Asian pear trees, and a prune tree. There is plenty of room for a raised garden bed.”

In addition to lovingly maintaining the space and the several recent updates, they also added a storage shed, an 80-gallon hot water heater, a furnace, and a new roof during their time in the home.

Now this residence is ready for a new chapter, and as soon as you step in through the front door, its bright and open layout beckons. The living room flows right into the dining area and kitchen, and a fireplace adds a cozy element into the space. Imagine snuggling up on the couch with a warm fire on a winter evening, and just picture how idyllic this space could look during the holiday season!

The kitchen is a definite highlight, and new shimmering quartz counters and sleek appliances take this space’s style up a notch! Enjoy laid-back bar-style counter seating, tons of room for meal prep, and generous cabinetry with ample space for kitchen essentials. The kitchen flows into the laundry room, and from here, the rest of this home’s layout opens up to the 3 versatile bedrooms.

The 3 flexible bedrooms ensure loved ones have privacy, and if you have an extra room or 2, you could easily use the space as a fitness center, office, hobby room, or playroom! The master bedroom is definitely not to be missed—here you’ll discover an extra-large layout with enough space for a sitting area or desk, and a walk-in closet and ensuite bath are all yours to indulge in.

Boasting a 0.37-acre lot, this Olympia gem is an absolute dream for those who love to spend time out in the fresh air! The fenced backyard features low-maintenance landscaping, a spacious deck, fruit trees, raised garden beds, a garden shed, and even a hot tub hook-up. Keep things simple and as is, or put your green thumb to work cultivating flower beds and raised garden beds overflowing with homegrown fruits and veggies. You’ll also find fabulous potential for outdoor entertaining with the deck—barbecues and summertime get-togethers are right at home in this picture-perfect scene!

SOLD for list price!!

“This is horse heaven!” says this property’s current owner. Boasting 10.08 usable acres in Tenino, this one-of-a-kind equestrian property is brimming with top-notch amenities, and years and years of good times and cherished memories await new owners! In addition to the beautifully updated 2,680-square-foot home with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, this incredible oasis also boasts a thoroughly amazing 2015-built arena/show barn combo. Crafted with expert-level attention to detail and of superior quality and construction, horse lovers are in for a real treat! Located at 12627 Marshall Rd SE, Tenino 98589, this slice of paradise is listed for $765,000.

If you have horses and dream of having a beautiful home, your very own arena, photo-worthy views of nature, and nearby trails to explore, this must-see Tenino property is all of that… and more. “The property [originally] appealed to me because I’m a competitive trail rider, so I loved the miles of adjacent trails,” shares the owner.

In addition to the bucolic setting, you’ll find state-of-the-art amenities at your fingertips. The 60’ x 120’ indoor arena and show barn with nine 12’ x 12’ matted stalls are under the same roof, and the stalls include direct turn out to 12’ x 24’ Noble panel paddocks. The indoor arena features laser-leveled footing, washed sand and alder sawdust with a clay base, a steel vaulted truss system, tongue and grove fir-lined walls, a plywood sheeted ceiling for noise reduction and extra stability, mesh “gale shields” for an exceptional outdoor view on the north side, and LED lighting throughout. You’ll also find a 20,000 watt solar system (a $60,000 investment!) installed on the arena roof. This powers both the house and barn, with an annual return of approximately $5,100.

In addition to the show barn’s 9 matted stalls with direct turnout, it includes Noble panel stall fronts and dividers with tongue and grove fir, a separate blanket bar and groom caddie for each stall, a wash rack with hot and cold water and overhead radiant heaters, 2 separate heated tack rooms and upper blanket storage, a Caretaker’s Quarters up above the arena, a heated storage/viewing room, a heated half bath, a utility room with a washer and dryer, and separate bays for shavings and up to 8 tons of hay with 14’ roll-up doors for easy access, and a $20,000 drainage system with underground dry wells (zero mud!).

This property also features picturesque grounds to take advantage of, and you’ll find 18 separate pastures for year-round grazing (9 pastures in front of property & 9 pastures towards the back of the property), and a spacious, low-maintenance yard. A separate 2-stall barn, a 2-bay equipment shed, and sweeping territorial views await as well… not to mention the miles and miles of scenic trails that surround the property!

When it’s time to head inside to relax or entertain guests, you’ll find a dynamic blend of comfort, convenience, and elegant style. This custom home’s 2,680-square-foot layout includes highlights like a fully finished daylight basement, a master suite on the main floor (which includes a 5-piece bath, a large walk-in closet, and direct deck access), a built-in vacuum system, built-in speakers, an oversized 2-car garage with separate automatic doors, and a long list of updates. A 40-year roof was installed in 2017, and you’ll also find an updated kitchen, fresh interior paint, new window coverings, refinished hardwood floors, and a brand new heat pump with forced air and A/C (added in 2020).

“There is a beautiful view from every room in the house,” shared this home’s seller. “The house is full of windows, and I love light—especially during the long PNW winters! In the fall, winter, and spring, the passive solar construction allows solar warming of the home in the afternoon. In the summer, the heat pump keeps you cool. Comfort year-round!”
