When mentally designing a dream home, we daydream about having it all. Often, though, we settle for a property that showcases only a fraction of our many passions. Courtney Drennon of Morrison House Sotheby’s International Realty is currently offering 7417 Johnson Road SE in Olympia as the answer to, “What if dreams really could come true?”
This multifunctional acreage property offers a compound-like feel with multiple outbuildings and amenities which are unique in the fast-moving Olympia real estate market. She’s happy to arrange a tour or answer questions about this once-in-a-lifetime home today.
A Multigenerational Family Home in Olympia with Room to Grow and Play
Drennon has been a licensed real estate agent for more than 21 years with a focus on unique and luxury offerings. 7417 Johnson Road SE embodies her area of expertise and is a mere 20 minutes from downtown Olympia shopping and dining.
Gated and fenced, the nearly 16-acre property showcases a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom main house (6.75 total baths on site) with over 4,000 square feet of indoor living area. With 700 feet of Eaton Creek frontage, the home offers an 1,800 square foot patio with in-ground pool and hot tub for lazy summer afternoons and family barbecues.
Birdwatchers can enjoy Pacific Northwest wildlife and backyard bird watching, with visits from bald eagles, harrier and red tail hawks, miniature falcons and kestrel.
Drennon explains that the property was designed as an all-inclusive family home by Rollie Thompson, a well-known local custom home builder. Its original residents hoped to develop a peaceful, welcoming equestrian retreat. While the current owners had visions a of vineyard near the creek.
Create Your Dream Farm Homestead or Equestrian Heartland
Beyond a main house, the Johnson Road property offers several extra special bonuses that are unique to our region. Whether you travel by land or air, there’s something for everyone.
If you’ve got a passion for horses, Drennon says there is a three-stall barn in great shape with a one-bedroom living space upstairs. “Someone could add additional stalls within the existing barn structure,” she says, “Or the apartment above the barn could be income producing or great for a full-time horse trainer to live on site.”
Or consider developing a homestead. “It is double listed under a farm listing since it could accommodate a small farm with chickens, goats or other animals,” explains Drennon. According to the seller “Many areas just to the south are used for agriculture. At one time much of the Evergreen Valley was one large strawberry farm so the soil on this property is dark sandy loam that drains well and is virtually free from rocks. While most of the property is pasture, a small-scale hobby farm could easily be created on the flat portions.”
Workshop, Helicopters and Luxury Amenities Make Home a Unique Olympia Real Estate Find
Prefer helicopters to horseshoes? No problem! The Johnson Road home has a helipad with FAA specs and nearby helicopter workshop. Above the aviation workspace is nearly 4,000 square feet of living space with its own shop permit and septic system, making it an ideal potential ADU. “Preliminary work with a builder and an engineer indicates this would likely get approved as there is enough land for the impervious surface limits and it is within setbacks off of critical areas,” explains Drennon.
You could even convert from a traditional home into an event space, with much of the infrastructure already in place. There is garage space for more than 20 vehicles plus many external parking options.
Alongside the pool and spa, existing outdoor living space is set up to easily include an outdoor kitchen. Multiple outbuildings could easily be converted into space for art studios, woodworking shop, rentable covered RV storage or other options. “Think of yoga retreats, mini concerts or weddings,” says Drennon, “all nestled with stunning and private territorial views.” Find an array of photos online to visualize your many options and inspire your imagination.
