Welcome to Chien Noir Cottage—an enchanting property nestled in Sequim’s Carlsborg community, where tranquil living meets flexible functionality on over 5 acres of natural beauty in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula’s coveted rain shadow. This lovingly remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow exudes warmth with hardwood floors, a propane fireplace on a brick hearth, and French doors opening to a south-facing deck. The home is perfectly sized for simplicity and comfort, and the partially finished basement adds flexibility for storage, projects, or future expansion. The park-like setting is a standout feature—three sides of the property are lined with mature trees offering privacy and a natural windbreak. Fruit trees dot the landscape, while a seasonal Class III stream and the Dungeness irrigation ditch bring water, wildlife, and character to the property. A detached studio with metal roof, power, and water adds valuable bonus space—ideal for a fitness room, art studio, home office, or potential ADU (buyer to verify). Additional outbuildings include a potting shed and a large, airy storage/workshop. A separate garage with workbench offers room for hobbies or storage. The RV pad comes complete with sewer, power, and water hookups, and can easily support a tiny home, providing even more possibilities for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest accommodations. With over 5 acres of usable land, fencing already in place, and water access via irrigation, the property offers excellent potential for horses or hobby farming—create your dream equestrian setup or simply enjoy the space and flexibility it offers. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the property's close proximity to the Olympic Discovery Trail, Dungeness Recreation Area, and the awe-inspiring Olympic National Park—offering endless opportunities for hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, and coastal exploration. Additional features include: 4-bedroom septic (inspected 2025), built-in vacuum, ceiling fans, recessed lighting, wall heaters for efficient comfort, public road access with gated entry. Fully fenced with available irrigation and landscaped areas. Whether you're dreaming of a creative retreat, hobby farm, income property, or peaceful primary residence, Chien Noir Cottage offers the privacy, utility, and charm to make it your own.
