Property Description
Some properties are simply houses. This one is a legacy in the making. Tucked at the base of Snow Mountain along the South Fork of Cowiche Creek, this hand-scribed log home was built log by log -- 16-inch Douglas Fir and Western Larch -- by an owner who poured craftsmanship and intention into every corner. Step inside and the chef's kitchen greets you with quartz counters and recycled wine-barrel cabinetry, while a custom stone fireplace and pizza oven, hand-built by local artisan Bob Gossett, anchors the home as its heart. Wide-plank hardwood floors, wool carpeting and intimate spaces throughout create a home with a rustic soul and genuine luxury -- all powered by a Net Zero solar system, so the beauty doesn't come at the planet's expense. Then there's the second story: a beautifully restored 1900s-era cabin, known to locals as the Whutke Cabin. With its own wraparound porch, bathroom, shower, and fire pit, it's ready for guests, extended family, or a private creative retreat -- history you can actually live in. Outside, the setting does the rest of the selling. Watch elk wander through your backyard from the porch -- this property borders the Cowiche Wildlife Area's elk feeding station. Cast a line or just listen to the South Fork of Cowiche Creek running past your gated, private drive. Wander the certified Heritage garden and wildlife habitat. And when adventure calls, the Snow Mountain Ranch trailhead -- gateway to the 80-mile William O. Douglas Trail -- is just one mile away. Yet for all its seclusion, convenience is never far: Harvest Foods, schools, and the post office are minutes away, with Cowiche Creek Brewery and the trails of Cowiche Canyon Conservancy just down the road, and the artsy shops and cafés of Tieton a short drive beyond. This is a rare offering -- a hand-built log masterpiece, a piece of local history, and a setting most only dream of all on one gated, creekside parcel built to be shared across generations.
