The story
- Basement
Do you have a love of history and the soul of a farmer? This is more than a home - it's an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Tumwater's remarkable agricultural properties. As the last remaining portion of the historic 1845 George Bush Settlement, this 5-acre farm blends rich heritage with infrastructure needed for modern agricultural living. Light-filled 2,600sf home offers sweeping pastoral views and an updated farm-sized kitchen, yet the true heart of the property lies just beyond the back door. Rich, productive soils, 1,080sf barn/shop with walk-in cooler, seed germination room and dedicated electrical service, hoop houses, poultry coops, abundant private well for home and irrigation, and established growing areas support market farming, specialty crops, or a thriving homestead. As the sun sets, relax on the expansive deck, gather around the warmth of the fireplace, or enjoy game night in the walk-out lower level with 2nd kitchen and flexible layout. Ductless HVAC, rooftop solar, on-demand generator, and heated primary bath floors provide comfort and peace of mind. Century-old apple trees and butternut trees descended from those brought west by the Bush family in 1845 continue the farm's unforgettable story. Protected by a conservation easement preserving the property's agricultural future, this is your opportunity to carry on the legacy - caring for productive farmland while writing the next chapter in one of our area's most meaningful historic landscapes.
