About This Home
As of August 2025One of the largest privately owned properties adjoining Lake St. Helen encompasses 460 acres of diverse and scenic landscapes, presenting an exceptional opportunity to create a luxurious compound or private oasis. With approximately 2,000 feet of lake frontage and adjoining state land, this property offers access to various water sources, including streams and ponds. Historically, the land was owned by the Carter Family and later passed down to the Heston Family. While most of the original holdings by Carter Inc. have been sold and fragmented into various privately and state-owned parcels, this remains the largest privately owned piece, comprised of three distinct parcels. Construction on the main house began in 1997 but was left unfinished, providing a blank canvas for new owners. The design envisions a wrap-around deck, an open floor plan, and a walk-out finished basement, featuring three bedrooms, two full baths, and a mudroom, alongside a spacious pole building. This unique property combines potential and history, making it a rare find in the Lake St. Helen area.
