Whidbey Island acreage with the space, privacy, & flexibility to create your own island retreat! Set on just over 9 acres with beautiful territorial views overlooking the valley, this peaceful property offers a unique opportunity for a weekend getaway, hobby farm, equestrian property, or future homesite. The existing 1-bedroom ADU provides comfortable living while you plan & build your dream home on the hilltop, where the elevated setting takes advantage of expansive valley views. A private well & 3-bedroom septic system are already in place, providing valuable infrastructure for the property. Fully fenced & well suited for gardens, animals, and outdoor living, the property features a garden area with raised beds and established fruit trees. Just off the patio, mature plantings surround a charming water feature, creating a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening sun. Abundant birdlife and frequent wildlife activity make this a wonderful setting for nature lovers & birdwatchers. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to the neighboring M Bar C Ranch and the rural character of the surrounding area. Additional improvements include an RV space, solar energy, shop with a large roll-up door & carport offering plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or storage. Despite the private country setting, you're just minutes from the shops, restaurants, services & everyday conveniences of Freeland. Enjoy today while building for tomorrow.
