Huge fenced garden area has harvest ready produce!

This huge stump is what's left of the 'jewel' of this property, a grand 174 yr old butternut tree, brought from Missouri by the Bush family in 1845. The owners were broken-hearted when a windstorm took the tree down a few years back, and were elated to see a new descendant tree growing out of the rubble! You’ll find 2 more grand old descendants of the original tree, one as you travel the driveway in front, and one just to the rear of the home.

In front is the well house, the building behind is currently used for storage.

These pathways through the beautiful pasture - some revealing Mt Rainier views, are a favorite strolling spot for the owners. The adjacent parcels to the south of the property will never be developed, so this country character will remain for you to enjoy!
