We are currently located in Kent, Washington, situated on 2-1/2 acres. Little Soos Creek designates the southeast boundary line of the property. Giving the property a park-like surrounding.
Listening to the trickling sounds of the creek in the quietness of the night, makes a great retreat after a hard days work. Ducks and cranes wash, swim and sometimes nest in the creek. An occasional deer, raccoons, squirrels and coyotes are also often seen. Salmon run at spawning time in abundance. To protect the creek, we have placed our fence line 50+ feet from it's edge. Plenty of natural foliage also protects the creek's borders.
Our tutor style house hosts separate living quarters in its bottom floor. A feature that has come in handy for our farm help. Originally, built to accommodate a large family, it has plenty of storage, including a whole room with shelves, a very large laundry room and 2 bedrooms in the separate living quarters. There's 4 bedrooms on the third level in the main living quarters, for a total of almost 5,000 sq. feet, including 5 bathrooms in the house. It's circular driveway and private road to the house, sits well off the main road, although close to developed and shopping areas. A hard to find situation in this area these days.
The barn, which Bill built, was "originally" three 12 x 12 box stalls, each with separate turn outs, hot and cold running water and drain, heated tack room and a separate feed room. It also has a garage door that opens to a parking space for a small tractor or riding lawn mower. The barn was "originally" built for my regular sized horses.
Of course, since it's origination we have had to put in removable dividers in the stalls to make 6 stalls out of the three and the parking space for the tractor now dotes two more mini stalls. With the addition of two 4 stall shed rows, all of our horses have a warm, dry place to sleep at night.
There isn't a person that walks or drives down the private easement road, that passes our pasture, that doesn't stop and pet or watch the minis.
