Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Nearly 2 private acres on two separate lots in north Bellingham. Whether you're looking to build new or explore the potential of the existing home, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your vision. The home requires significant repair and is being sold as-is, making this primarily a land-value offering. Existing 2-bedroom septic system was installed in 2018, power is on site, gas is available, and a wetland delineation has been completed. Enjoy a park-like setting with mature trees, wooded trails, fruit trees, and exceptional privacy. Conveniently located just minutes from Bellingham amenities while offering the peaceful feel of country living. A truly special setting with the groundwork already in place for your next chapter.
