Located on a ridge overlooking the Skagit River, CSV Washington is surrounded by natural beauty. There is abundant water: in addition to the river, two small creeks cross the property. In total, it has 60 Acres of Land, 700’ of Riverfront, and about 15 acres of current farmable land, all on a gentle South-facing slope. Previously, the site was used as a vineyard and winery, with a visitors’ tasting room. Currently, a farmer leases land separate from our 15 acres to operate an indoor growing facility for cannabis.
The property is conveniently located near the small town of Concrete, and is only 20 minutes away from the town of Sedro Woolley. It is about an hour and a half from Bellingham, and a little more to Seattle. A hiking and biking trail called the Cascade Trail runs through the property, and provides protected and beautiful walking and biking access to the towns of the Cascades and all the way to Mt. Vernon.
CSV Washington is designed with 10 clustered residential homes along the Eastern side of the property, connected by Pinot Noir Lane. Community recreational spaces such as eating and picnic areas are being designed. There is a beach for camping, fishing, and with boat access, and a hiking and biking trail on site.
A valuable and uncommon feature of this property is the water claim, which is unusual for new construction near the Skagit. Each of the 10 lots (average size half acre) is authorized to use 318 gallons of water per day (175gpd for indoor, and 143 gpd for personal outdoor use), and the shared gardening program has a surface water claim (diverted from an on-site creek) of 375,000gal. Each lot is septic-ready and has water access.
