Imagine ending your day with deer wandering through the trees, the crackle of a wood-burning stove, and the quiet that only five private acres can provide. Tucked into a peaceful setting just outside Castle Rock, this beautifully maintained home captures the essence of Pacific Northwest living, where abundant wildlife and towering evergreens create a magical retreat. High ceilings and expansive windows bathe the living room and kitchen in natural light, while original hardwood floors and warm wood accents create an inviting atmosphere throughout. Approximately 2.5 acres of merchantable timber, a productive fenced garden, open space for hobbies or animals, and frequent visits from elk and deer make the outdoors every bit as enjoyable as the home itself. Whether your vision is gardening, hobby farming, or simply having room to breathe, this property offers the flexibility to make it your own. Recent improvements include a new furnace and central AC, as well as a recently replaced septic system. An attached two-car garage and dedicated RV parking add everyday convenience. Just minutes from the small-town charm of Castle Rock and the gateway to Mount St. Helens, you'll enjoy easy access to hiking, fishing, boating, and countless outdoor adventures while remaining within easy reach of everyday conveniences.
