About This Home

Opportunity abounds! Quiet, secluded 5 acres minutes from I-5 and Bellingham on a dead-end road with a 1500+ sq ft home in need of some TLC. The property is cleared and flat with amazing territorial views. The barn/shop has power and has been used as a woodshop/workshop. Built in 1930, the house has great bones and with a partial remodel started is an open canvas for your dreamhouse. The property is surrounded by agricultural fields and close to the Nooksack river for great recreation possibilities.
