Sequim Homes with Acreage Make Sequim Extremely Attractive

Sequim homes with acreage are one of the great attractions to many retirees moving to Sequim.  Many of my clients tell me they are eager to escape the hustle and bustle of Metropolis where they have lived and worked for decades.  America is evolving.  It’s not the same country we grew up in.  Some changes are good, but many are not.  City crowding, worsening traffic congestion, high crime rates, the unsettling immigration crisis along our southern borders, the recession and economic chaos, and the degrading state of political morale are motivating retirees to search for a place where the clock has been turned back 20 years.  Sequim homes with acreage, like the one in this photo, are symbolic of the peaceful and rural setting that is attracting so many retired professionals to the Sequim area.

Sequim Homes with Acreage

Sequim Homes with Acreage

The home in this photo is similar to many Sequim homes with acreage.  Not everyone wants acreage, and Sequim certainly has a number of rural subdivisions with small low maintenance lots, but some aspire to have “the elbow room” they’ve always dreamed of having.  Not everyone wants chickens or horses or other animals, but some would love to “go back in time” and live more like they did when they were young.  Not everyone wants a large farm house or even a two story home, but you can have a ranch style home on acreage, too.  Not everyone wants their own organic vegetable garden and fruit trees, but more and more do.

Sequim Homes with Acreage

There was a time when water was so plentiful around the United States that no one even considered water shortages or rationing.  While the state of Washington has no water shortages, the tripartite of California and Arizona and Nevada represents a huge battle over the water from the Colorado River and Lake Mead. 

There will be a time in the not-too-distant future when Sequim homes with acreage will be in short supply.  I think there will be a time when it will be hard to find large parcels of real estate anywhere for private ownership.  National Parks are rapidly expanding, land use restrictions are filling the three ring binders at all levels of government, and large parcels are getting subdivided and sold off.  Someday large parcels will be rare and demand (and the lack of supply) will drive prices higher and higher for that 5 to 40 acre parcel.

Sequim Homes with Acreage

Here are some current Sequim homes with acreage (Sequim MLS listings) you might enjoy browsing.  You’ll notice that even now there are very few large parcels available.

Sequim Homes on 5 to 10 Acres
Sequim Homes on 10 to 20 Acres
Sequim Homes on 20 to 100 Acres

Sequim Land for Sale above 10 Acres

As a former Alaskan who grew up in rural Alaska on 30 acres with a wood stove, a Coleman lantern, and an outhouse, I appreciate the rural and peaceful Sequim valley.  Obviously, many retirees also love the idea of Sequim homes with acreage.
