In the late 1800's, George and Lillie Winters homesteaded here. They were the first to settle the Deer Park area, just 4 miles east of Port Angeles, WA. Over the next 100+ years, the farm became a thriving dairy that served wholesome milk to generations of locals.
The Deer Park Farmhouse (built in 1950 by the homesteaders' grandson) sits atop a hill overlooking the original homestead site, where the impressive 1917 barn and twin towering silos still stand. The large 5+ bedroom, 3 bath house served home-cooked meals to farmhands and family for decades. Though the dairy is no longer active, the rolling hills and panoramic views remain. And now this farmhouse can be the location of your family vacation or retreat.
Located just outside of town where the rural life-style is still enjoyed, but close enough for convenient access to groceries (2.3 miles), movie theaters (0.8 miles) and shopping. Whether guests are planning a day trip to Victoria, BC, a drive up to Hurricane Ridge, visiting the Dungeness Lighthouse, some kayak trips, or a mountain hike, the Deer Park Farmhouse is the perfect base for their adventures. Or if guests just want to enjoy some solitude and panoramic mountain views from the patio (perhaps a game of lawn croquet or badminton), this home won't disappoint.
