there are very few places left where silence is the loudest thing you hear. where the only schedule is sunrise, sunset & the changing of the seasons. nestled on 28 secluded acres less than 90 minutes east of seattle & minutes to downtown cle elum, sheldon gate house is an architectural masterpiece sited on a canvas that is increasingly hard to find in the pnw. what makes this property truly exceptional isn′t simply its size…it′s the land itself. nearly every acre is flat, usable & full of possibility. designed by internationally acclaimed architect peter bohlin, the home has been recognized w/ myriad architectural awards. the house is intentionally understated. every sq ft was designed to connect w/ nature rather than compete w/ it. instead of building one large structure, the architect fragmented the home into 2 separate spaces so movement between them always reconnects you to the outdoors. the courtyard isn’t just leftover space. it’s the heart of the design & connects 2 distinctive wings of the home. on one side the main house w/ its dramatic vaulted ceilings & unique architectural lines. the kitchen is modern & functional. the primary w/recently updated bath is the perfect quiet escape. on the other side of the courtyard is the guest wing with a cozy & private bedroom w/ full ensuite bath. a spacious bonus room is the perfect office or art studio. over 1800sf garage w/ full bath is full of storage & potential. zoned r3 for a multitude of possibilities. truly a must-see.
