About this home

If you like to golf or enjoy spectacular views of Mount Baker...this is the perfect land to build your dream home on. This level parcel of almost 5 acres is just a short walk or drive to the Shuksan Golf course. There are several ideal building sites and the land is mostly cleared with some towering evergreens left for a privacy buffer to the North. Paved access easement to the East of the property with all utilities and there is a Deer Creek Water Association share that comes with the property sale. This is in a very quiet area and just a short drive to town. The Seller has done no studies or reports for wetlands, but huge price reduction due to possibility of the Maximum Impact rule of 4,000 sf of excavation allowed by Whatcom County.
