About this property

Welcome home to this cozy cabin on a forested 5 acres in the gated McIntosh Ridge community. This small but functional space includes a great room with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light, a small kitchen, 3/4 bath, as well as a loft for sleeping or storage. Woodstove provides plenty of heat in the winter, with a propane wall heater for backup. Existing 2-bedroom septic system allows room for expansion. So many possibilities- a low-cost primary residence, a peaceful weekend retreat, or the perfect site to build your dream home with a tiny house ADU for guests. All utilities are in place, with new underground electrical service run to the property in 2025 with generator switch & Honda 6500-watt generator connected to a 500-gallon propane tank. Easy to work from home with high-speed fiber internet! Established landscape beds surround the cabin with native and ornamental perennials. Enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle with veggie garden beds, fruit and nut trees (pear, apple, plum, apricot, walnut), chicken coop, and a fruiting akebia vine just outside the front door. Large shipping container for storage. Spend your weekends exploring the community trails, boating on McIntosh Lake, or biking the nearby Chehalis Western and Yelm-to-Tenino trail systems, offering more than 35 miles of paved trails to explore.
