Tired of living in the city? Tired of the day-to-day
hustle, crowds, nastiness and anxiety of living in the thick of things? Or do
you just need a getaway home in the forest? This beautiful chalet log house for
sale deep in the Olympic
This 3 bed, 2 bath chalet features Yada
milled cedar logs, protected with PermaChink products
for a long life and beautiful color. The great room has a ceiling that is
nearly 30 feet high with whole-wall picture windows allowing the picturesque
Olympic National Forest to enhance your pleasure. The footprint is about 1400
sq. ft, and the total area is approximately 2200 sq. ft. The almost 400 sq. ft.
master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, a huge walk-in closet, and opens to a
loft overlooking the great room.
The garage has matching ship lap with the log
appearance and is large enough to house 4 cars. We park two cars in the garage
and still have enough room for a full shop, which features a 40-foot work
bench.
A 10 by 12 storage shed houses the water
supply pressure tank as well as our compressor, which is plumbed to the shed,
garage and house. Out behind is a 10 by 20 wood shed which can easily hold 12
cords of wood. The large wood stove can heat the house so well that we rarely
ever use the furnace.
The great room is huge. The ceiling is nearly 30 feet
tall, the room itself spans 30 feet by about 30 feet. The wood-burning stove
heats the whole house easily. Everywhere you look is either wood or window.
There isn’t a single sheet of sheetrock in the whole house. Pergo
on the floor, cedar logs on the walls, and spruce car-decking on the top held
up by
The open stairs climb up to a loft overlooking the
great room as well as providing views out the north windows. Underneath the
staircase is a hidden pantry for the kitchen area.

It does snow here once in a while, and you can’t ask
for a more beautiful scene than this log chalet in the winter. Our deck is 12
feet by nearly 50 feet, and the porch is 8 feet by over 50 feet. Summer sunsets
are remarkable while relaxing, listening to the wildlife and experiencing the
peace. Here are some shots of the snow fall in early January 2008.

The house sits on approximately 4 acres of property.
The front yard is about 3 acres of lawn with conifers, a perfect playground for
anybody of any age. You can either mow it neatly or let it run wild, both are
beautiful. Remarkable seclusion, silence, peace and quiet, dark night skies,
yet a trip to Forks is less than 20 minutes. Critters
that wander through include deer, elk (usually 50 at a time), coyotes, rabbits,
eagles, great blue herons, western goldfinches, ravens, grouse and many others.

Adjacent to this property is a separate 32.42 acres
also available. We aren’t planning on selling it but a negotiation could be
arranged, and your property would increase to an amazing 36 ½ acres. The larger
property has trails, a large meadow, a creek with salmon, and the potential for
a future timber harvest for those who are investment minded.
The house is located only a 19-mile drive
from the prettiest lake in the whole world,
About an hour away is the city of
