About this home

Two acres. Room for your animals. Space for your projects. A country lifestyle just minutes from Yelm. Discover the possibilities on this fully fenced and cross-fenced two-acre property, thoughtfully set up for hobby farming, homesteading, and country living. Established livestock areas, multiple stalls, convenient watering stations, and open pasture provide a ready-made setting for horses, goats, chickens, pigs, and more. Need room beyond the house? The detached four-car garage offers exceptional flexibility for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, storage, or a dedicated workshop. Inside, the open-concept rambler makes the most of its layout, with expansive pasture views and a covered back porch where you can unwind and enjoy the surrounding acreage. Two spacious bedrooms, including one with a Murphy bed, offer flexibility for everyday living, guests, or a home office. Recent improvements include a new roof and gutters, updated plumbing, and hot and cold exterior water spigots. Whether you envision a small farm, a place for your animals, a workshop for your next project, or simply more room to spread out, this property offers a combination of usable acreage, existing infrastructure, and convenient access to downtown Yelm, Lawrence Lake, JBLM, shopping, and outdoor recreation. If you've been looking for a property where the land and outbuildings are just as important as the home, come explore the possibilities at this unique country property.
