Or maybe you dream of building a shop where you can work on cars, park your truck, boat or RV, and store your farm equipment and recreational toys. There’s even potential to open up the property even more—there are trees and shrubs that can still be cleared away.

Tucked away in a convenient Graham location, this estate not only features an updated, move-in ready 1,568-square-foot rambler (complete with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths), but it also boasts picturesque gardens, fantastic amenities for raising animals, and so much more! Located at 13621 Kapowsin Hwy E Graham, WA 98338, this rare estate is listed for $584,000

We’re thrilled to share this Graham gem, and we can’t wait to show off what we love about it. Here are our 6 favorite things about this country oasis:

1. The property presents unique potential and possibility.

Whether you dream of having your own horse property, a hobby farm, homesteading on a self-sustaining farm, or owning a venue that you can rent out for weddings, reunions, and other events, this dynamic estate presents endless opportunities. Let your imagination run wild with this one!

2. Secluded yet just 10 minutes to Graham conveniences.

One of the most challenging things for many people who desire a secluded, country setting can be getting to and from city conveniences. But with this particular location, you don’t have to worry—for example, you’ll find a Safeway, Rite Aid, Walgreens, a post office, eateries, services, and schools just 10 minutes away!

You can also easily get to Puyallup’s South Hill area in 16 minutes, opening up a huge variety of amenities. This property is also just a couple minutes to Lake Kapowsin, 9 minutes to Northwest Trek, and easily within reach of other outdoor opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, hiking, etc.!

3. Gorgeous park-like setting boasts details like a fountain, garden, and fruit trees.

For those who love spending time outdoors, gardening, and appreciating the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Northwest, this property delivers. Enjoy having a fenced backyard and a covered patio right alongside the main house, and beautifully grassy areas (with horseshoe pits!) for a park atmosphere. The huge pastures stay green all summer into the fall, and it’s not rare to see elk passing through. Enjoy the sound of the fountain in the pond, and try your hand at fishing here from time to time—this home’s sellers have caught three 10-inch trout in the pond!

If you enjoy gardening, you’re sure to especially appreciate the greenhouse and huge garden that’s fenced to keep out deer (expect to enjoy tons of veggies!). Plus, there’s a mini orchard that’s bursting with fresh fruit! To top it all off, each time you arrive home during the spring, you can admire the daffodils that crop up along the entire front of the property.

4. Equipped for animals including horses, cattle, chickens, goats, & more!

This home’s sellers absolutely love animals. You’ll find a 3-stall show barn (and an addition with a tack room and loft), a cattle barn, a chicken house (it’s bigger than just a coop!), goat sheds, and a 30’ x 40’ detached shop that could be used to store an RV, boat, or just used as a huge hay barn. The sellers had hardwire for wifi installed in the barns, and you’ll also find tons of thoughtfully designed fencing on the property as well as brand new hotwire that surrounds the property.

5. Updated & beautifully maintained rambler offers comfort AND style.

Of course, when you’re done working and playing for the day, this estate’s gorgeous 3-bedroom, 2-bath home-sweet-home awaits. This home’s sellers made several updates, including things like adding a new fridge, new washer and dryer, new ceiling fans, and more. One of the the seller’s favorite areas of the home is the open-concept kitchen, where you’ll discover elegant granite counters, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in bar, and more. Another cherished area is the master suite—enjoy having your own walk-in closet and 5-piece bath with tranquil sounds of the outdoor fountain in the background!

Additionally, the tankless hot water heater promises a cost-effective, never-ending supply of hot water, and the generator ensures you never have to worry about power outages.

One of the best things about living here, according to the sellers, are their wonderful neighbors. Not only have neighbors been respectful of their privacy, but everyone helps each other out—it’s a true village!
