The story
- Basement
Perched on a private promontory above the Cle Elum River, this Tumble Creek residence occupies a rare double lot where forest, river and expansive valley views unfold with no neighboring homes in sight. In autumn, elk wander from the river onto the back lawn. Inside, a dramatic 40-foot vaulted great room is framed by cedar ceilings, timber beams, natural stone and solid walnut floors. Four-panel automated glass doors retract completely, extending the living space to a covered patio enclosed by motorized Phantom Screens. Four fireplaces and two fire pits invite lingering evenings indoors and out. The owner-designed chef’s kitchen features three islands, custom cherry cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, a wine refrigerator, baker’s pantry and fully equipped butler’s kitchen. The primary suite offers a stone fireplace, cedar ceiling, sitting area, steam shower with book-matched stone, soaking tub and private patio. Every element is designed for comfort, from radiant floors and six climate zones to Lutron lighting with more than 200 zones and whole-home control by iPad or phone. A media room, fitness room, two laundry rooms, mudroom, en suite baths, guest steam shower and museum art lighting add exceptional function. A garage car lift and outdoor kitchen infrastructure complete the retreat. Tumble Creek days unfold between golf, trails and wilderness, then return to a home that feels private, warm and entirely your own.
