3246 78th Ave SE, Olympia, WA 98501
About this home
Build your custom home or small community on this stunning flat property comprised of 2 parcels totaling a shy 4.5 acres. The home is a heavy fixer or tear down. But the large shop, barn, and utilities on site (well, septic) make this property ready for the next owner's dreams. Zoned R1- this property is prime for a builder, small developer! Lovely close in location but feels like you are way out in the country. Marketable timber on back half of property. Fenced for pastures and had a huge garden with several fruit trees & grape vines. Own well and septic services property. This property has great potential, bring your dreams and plans.
