Small lakeside community with a neighborly feel
Formerly a logging town, Big Lake is now a rural, residential community with a down-to-earth vibe and nature at its heart. “Big Lake has year-round residents. It’s vibrant with young families,” says Kathy D. West, Broker at Windermere Real Estate/JS with 13 years of experience. At Christmas, families can cut down their very own tree to decorate from Big Lake Trees & Events. This family-owned and operated Christmas tree farm since the 1970s is one of several small businesses that have been around for decades. And for other outings, Big Lake residents drive a few miles into Mount Vernon or Sedro-Woolley.
Boating, golfing and horseback riding
The lake itself is safe to splash around in: “You can get in the water to swim and use watercraft,” West says. “If you want to get out on the lake with your boat, Big Lake is the better choice as opposed to Clear Lake,” which is a similar community with a smaller lake about 5 miles north. Big Lake has a public boat launch and a maximum depth of 23 feet. Anglers fish for Coho salmon, Largemouth bass, Coastal Cutthroat trout and other species. Golfers enjoy lake views from Overlook Golf Course, a nine-hole executive course, veteran-owned since 1985. Campers can head to Tree Tent Park, just south of the lake. Finally, Lang’s Horse & Pony Farm gives horseback riding lessons to all ages, where guides lead trail rides through the 300 acres of forest.

Custom homes on the lake
Paved roads lined with telephone wires encircle the lake and cut through dense patches of trees. Driving through the quiet neighborhood, it’s clear that homes are not cookie-cutter lookalikes. In addition to the scenic lake and evergreens, the custom homes give Big Lake another boost in visual appeal. Some homes sit right by the shore, while others are surrounded by land. Those facing the lakeshore have large windows and some have wooden docks. Prices extend from about $510,000 to $1.5 million; homes at both ends of the price range are available on the lakeshore. Land parcels are also available.
