About this home

Rare Thurston County homestead with a Centralia address, offering approx 12 acres of privacy, timber and working-property utility. The cozy 2BR/1BA cabin features hardwood floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, a brick fireplace and electric heat. A substantial approx. 36x56 shop offers a 6-inch concrete slab, oversized doors, loft storage, separate electrical service, covered work/storage area and finished office/flex space with a full bath and kitchenette plumbing. A separately titled 1973 Kentwood MH provides additional utility. Private water system includes a deep well, commercial filtration, newer pump and pressure tank, plus a 2,500-gallon gravity-fed storage tank. On-site septic. Mature orchard trees, irrigated garden, greenhouse, chicken coop and small-livestock improvements enhance the homestead appeal. A professional 2026 timber cruise documents merchantable Douglas fir, western red cedar, hemlock/true fir and red alder. Forested slopes and established internal roads lead into the upper acreage. Non-motorized access from the property to extensive adjacent private working forestlands, offering opportunities for hiking, biking, horseback riding and hunting where permitted; access subject to landowner rules and closures. Multiple separately described tracts add flexibility for recreation, workshop, farm and land-oriented buyers. RRR 1/5 zoning per county records. Buyer to verify legal-lot status, access and development potential.
