Many of you have seen our home (from the river side). We have one of the better salmon holes for Coho and Chum right in our backyard! Well, it's for sale...!

Imagine waking up on a Sunday morning about ...8:00, sipping a cup of coffee out on your back deck as you watch the Coho roll in the deep "soft spot"...that's in your own backyard! Grab your pole and put 2 in the box before breakfast. During the week get up a bit earlier, fill your tag and there's still time to grab a shower and head for work..

There are several hundred yards of bank access ...you can just start working your way down towards the legendary tail-out where many a trophy Steelhead was taken on a fly. You can plunk, use drift gear or toss spoons/spinners...there's good water for all three right out the back door.

In the evening go wear yourself out as the Chum are everywhere, then relax as you watch the Sun set, with the glow sitting on top of Sauk Mtn.



Above is the view from your back deck. BTW, there is only one (1) small light visible in that dirction at night, and it's way the hell up on that far hill on the left. The river curves, blocking all other lights/homes, etc.

It's a nice home too..btw:

Mike... are you staying in Washington or moving out of state?

That is a BEAUTIFUL home... and the asking price is a mega-bargain considering all that you get and the lot.

If I didn't have to show up at the office occasionally... I would love to buy it myself!

Good luck with the sale.

Hey Dude!...good to know that someone is reading this! Yeah...if a guys got a sled he can park it on the beach 75% of the time. That, or drop the DB in the night before at the Baker, row down to the beach and tie it off ready to go early the next morning. That's a 1/2 mile jump on anyone looking for "first water"..:)

We are staying in the area as I am currently changing careers, going into Real Estate. Odds are we will be renting something in the Sedro or Hamilton area for about a year and then buying another place. The Skagit Valley is home for us now...and neither the wife or I want to move too far.

Mike

Mike,
Good luck selling your beautiful Skagit home.
I'd love to have a vacation home on the Skagit/Sauk someday.
Also good luck with your new career.
Stay in touch so we can hook up for some fishin on the Skagit this year.

HI Charlie,

Great to hear from ya!

Place is still for sale, although there are a couple of interested folks. Having an Open House this weekend, so if anyone's in the area stop on by (and be sure to bring your checkbook..;-)

Mike

Saw your old boat on the Sky Saturday Mike. Guy had the whole family aboard.... 2 kids n 2 ladies. They looked like they were havin fun.

Hi Riley,

I heard from David not too long ago, and he is doing well with the boat. Glad it's getting some exercise!

BTW all, the house is still on the market, but with a couple changes.

I have completed my training, and am now a Realtor with Skagit Tradition Realty out of Mount Vernon.. So, not only can I help any PP members list their homes for sale (or find the home of your dreams anywhere in WA), I am now also the listing agent on our home.



Price will be reduced by this weekend, making it an ever better buy, and I believe it will be priced well under appraisal. Open House scheduled for Sunday (7/27).

Mike

Good luck on you're new career and selling the house !

Thanks Ron! Actually, I still have the rep firm, and working in real estate is on top of that.

Mike

....

Price on the home has now been reduced to $219,950. That is as far as it will go, although we would absolutely consider all offers.

Also, right now it is a buyers market...prices are low, and lenders tell me that funds are available to lend to qualified buyers + the $8000 First Time home buyer credit is still available to those that have not owned a home in over 3 years.

If you are looking to buy or sell a home anywhere in W. Wash. give me a shout !
