About this home
Bring your vision and your tool belt. Situated on just over 4.6 acres, this property offers an opportunity to create value in a rural setting. The existing 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home is ready for its next chapter and gives the next owner a chance to invest time, effort, and improvements into the property. The property is served by the Smith Road Water Association and includes an additional water share. An older well also remains on site and may offer additional value to the next owner. With room to spread out and possible ADU opportunities subject to county approval, there are a number of paths forward for buyers looking to unlock this property's potential. Enjoy a rural setting with mountain views while still being just minutes from Barkley Village, Bellis Fair, North Bellingham Golf Course, and the P66 soccer fields, offering a convenient location close to everyday amenities and recreation.
