Best built fishing shack on Vashon! Step down to the beach and fish to your heart's content or just while away the hours watching the ever-changing water. Built in the 90's as an engineer's island retreat this one bed, one bath home over a two-car garage has been home to fun summer retreats for decades. Seller's dad used the garage for projects and hang-out space around the cozy wood stove. Upper level living quarters are in pristine condition and perfect for hosting island getaways and/or short-term renters. Huge sliding door gives access to Juliet balcony with views of boats plying the sound, seals and otters playing in the water, and the city of Tacoma in the distance. The grassy waterfront parcel with weeping willow is an inviting spot for picnics, camp-outs, casting a line and easy beach combing access. Upper portion of property gives access to Neill Point trail system for the benefit of the neighbors; lovely trails for forest bathing! Stash your kayaks, stand-up paddle boards or canoe and have grand adventures exploring Vashon from the water! Vashon village, with artisanal shops, music, art and festivals is just up the road, and Tacoma is a stone's throw away.
The purpose of the rural zone (RA) is to provide for an area-wide long-term rural character and to minimize land use conflicts with nearby agricultural or forest production districts or mineral extraction sites. These purposes are accomplished by: Limiting residential densities and permitted uses to those that are compatible with rural character and nearby resource production districts and sites and are able to be adequately supported by rural service levels; Allowing small scale farming and forestry activities and tourism and recreation uses that can be supported by rural service levels and that are compatible with rural character; Increasing required setbacks to minimize conflicts with adjacent agriculture, forest or mineral zones; and Requiring tracts created through cluster development to be designated as permanent open space or as permanent resource use.; Use of this zone is appropriate in rural areas designated by the Comprehensive Plan as follows: RA-2.5 in rural areas where the predominant lot pattern is below five acres in size for lots established prior to the adoption of the 1994 Comprehensive Plan.
