355 Xx SE Courtney Rd Ravensdale, WA 98051

Appreciating land for smart passive investors! This rare, prime land checks all the boxes. Sized just right: at 9.78 acres this lot is large enough for future estate, but not too big to drain money on maintenance. Near expanding Maple Valley with ever increasing density, this generous RA-5 zoned parcel (1 dwelling per 2.5-10 acres) rapidly gains in rarity; so much so that King County assessor raised its value by 34% in last year alone (well above the typical 13-15% of prior years). Uniquely positioned for growth, a savvy new-construction builder holds 78 acres one door away. Yet seclusion is protected with north border to WA Nature Preserve and with immediate west neighbor keeping their lot for recreational use. To the south sits an established, safe, and valuable community of 17 homes tucked among the trees. Drive up to your nature oasis in comfort, no dirt trails or landlocked trespassing required, it sits on a paved and maintained county road. Bonus: this prime land is free from restrictive forest tax or open-space rules. RA-5 zoning allows recreational use, with no restrictions on short-term rentals. If you plan to build, the site hits the mark: wetland survey completed (none found on site). Dynamic varied terrain with a gentle, ankle-deep, creek in a corner adds soothing sounds. Tested for septic at multiple locations - all passed. Community well is available nearby. 2 power & internet connections on site. Showing by appt only. Up to 2 year seller financing.
