About this home
Pre-development work and Mount Rainier view potential await on this 4.81-acre parcel in Yelm, WA! Located in Thurston County with approximately 330 feet of frontage on 161st Way SE, this wooded property offers privacy, a quiet rural setting, and potential Mount Rainier views with selective tree removal. Power is already on site with a temporary pole in place, and no HOA restrictions apply. Significant groundwork has already been started, including a wetland delineation study, site plan submission, Reasonable Use application, and prior perc testing, providing a valuable head start for future development. A seasonal creek and pond add natural character, while the former dairy farm to the south creates additional buffering and privacy. Surrounded by established homes, including a recently built residence next door, the property combines privacy with proven development appeal. Conveniently located near Yelm with access to JBLM, Olympia, and outdoor recreation around Mount Rainier National Park, this property offers flexibility for a future homesite or investment. Please note that the two trucks and RV currently on the property are not included in the sale and will be removed prior to closing. Contact us today for more information!
