The Property
Imagine awakening to sun streaming through mature Douglas Firs running along the ridge of your property. The land is serviced by long standing well with an amazing amount of pressure. This insures a more than adequate suppy of water for the property. Below is a view of the small pasture on the east side of the property where one might spot a fox, a rabbit or an eagle. (map)
For the birdwatcher, this property is a rare find where you can observe "common" and unusual migratory birds of the pacific coast flyway. American Bald Eagles are frequently seen circling overhead or perching in nearby trees. Pileated Woodpeckers can be heard working in the woods. Quail run by. Songbirds, too numerous to identify, will readily come to a bird feeder. Warning: if you put out hummingbird feeders, be prepared to fill them several times a day. One might land on your shoulder as you replace their food.
And, just when you think you've seen it all, a small tree frog appears in your garden.
When Spring comes to the island, wildflowers rise to the occasion. Without leaving your property, you could be the photographer of this orchid variety as well as other Woodland Orchids, Shooting Star, Chocolate and white Avalanche Lilies. Even an impressive stand of Indian Pipes make their home here.
An undeveloped lane connects the front and back pastures. Indian Pipes bloom in a large area at the bottom of the lane. You can see the eaves of the current home at the top of the lane.
Picture yourself looking out to the west, across your pasture toward San Juan Valley, to see deer taking in the morning solitude. This property has long been preserved and protected as wildlife habitat.
