A rare and beautiful 10-acre offering, just minutes from town yet feeling wonderfully removed from it all. Gently sloping land unfolds through old orchards, open pastoral spaces, and stands of mature forest, creating a landscape that feels both expansive and intimate. From the higher portions of the property, enjoy lovely East Passage views and a peaceful sense of privacy, with access to some of the Island’s best walking trails nearby. At the crest of the hill sits an original 1914 farmhouse, quietly overlooking the acreage and lending the property a sense of history, character, and romance. Surrounded by meadow, orchard, and forest, the home recalls an earlier era of Island life and adds a compelling focal point to an already special setting. The property offers a wonderful mix of sun, open space, natural beauty, and mature vegetation, with room to imagine gardens, orchards, gathering spaces, trails, or simply a private retreat immersed in the landscape. Its R-5 zoning, substantial acreage, and close-to-town location create a combination that is increasingly difficult to find on Vashon. Electricity is already on site, and the property includes an existing well as well as a Certificate of Water Availability from Heights Water, with service available in the street. Offered to the market for the first time in many years, this is a unique opportunity to become the next steward of a truly special piece of Island land — one with history, beauty, views, and extraordinary potential.

RA-5
Rural Area Zone
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-5 in rural areas where the predominant lot pattern is five acres or greater but less than ten acres in size and the area is generally environmentally unconstrained
