Humptulips River Retreat is a recreational dream on one of Washington's premier salmon and steelhead rivers. Watch elk wander through the property while enjoying easy access to world-class fishing and coastal adventures. A permitted 10' home lift created 1,000+/- sq. ft. of garage space for boats and toys, while a 550+/- sq. ft. entertainment deck offers the perfect place to relax after a day on the river. Minutes from Seabrook and ocean beachesThe current owners invested two years in planning and working with local contractors to execute the ambitious 10' House Lift. This project successfully preserved the home's historic charm while adding a 1,000 sq ft, highly functional garage beneath. Crucially, leveraging one homeowner's expertise as an environmental scientist, the lift was engineered to incorporate features that make the entire home 100% flood-resilient against the changing behavior of the Humptulips River. All work was properly permitted. 10' Lift: The home was lifted a full 10' to provide the ability to add 8' garage doors allowing for any sort of vehicle to be parked under the home. Pass through Garage Doors: Due to the scale of the property, having "toys" like ATVs or UTVs is pretty common. To make it easier to access these vehicles, a "pass through" garage door system was installed allowing you to drive from the driveway through the home and onto the property with ease. 550 sq ft Deck: Allowing for large gatherings or a quiet moment to survey the land, the expansive deck completely changed the experience of taking advantage of the summertime sun. Outdoor wifi access as well as outdoor speakers were added to enhance the ambiance of the deck. A new staircase was built connecting the deck to the ground level. Underdecking with proper drainage was installed to make the lower level area usable all year round. 100sq ft Sauna/Hot tub Deck Pad: A 10'x10' section was reinforced to support the additional weight of a sauna or hot tub. Additionally, a dedicated 50 amp circuit was run to this area as well. 8" Stem Walls and "Flood Vents": Working with the structural engineer allowed the homeowners to completely mitigate any risks of flooding should the Humptulips River get impacted by changing climate. The stem walls are over-engineered to withstand any amount of hydrostatic force and the flood vents allow the water proofed garage to purposely let water in and drain, ensuring the hydrostatic force would never damage the home. This two pronged solution makes the home able to withstand anything. Dog Wash Station: The current homeowners installed a commercial grade dog wash station (with dryer) to make it easy to clean 4 legged family members allowing them to also fully utilize the property and surrounding areas without the worry of them getting "too dirty", cleaning them up before returning to city life. Razer Clam and Fish cleaning station: The current homeowners and their guests fully utilized the region's unique clamming and fishing features and added the dedicated station to simplify cleaning their catches before moving them into the main home. Dedicated Full Lower Bathroom: As the homeowners and their guests spent most of their days outside, the current homeowners added a full bathroom downstairs in order to add convenience as well as the ability to "clean up" regardless of how messy the day's activities were. 50 Amp Generate Hookup: As the home relies solely on electricity for services, a 50 amp hookup was added to the home allowing for a backup should the power go out in the region. Dedicated outdoor RV Hookups: Taking advantage of the extensive remodel, a dedicated 50 amp connection, septic cleanout and water bib was installed to support any guests who visit with their RV. Additionally, the new bathroom was also added with RV guests in mind. High Tech Infrastructure: A dedicated Structural Media Panel was installed as well as additional Cat6a ethernet lines were routed to the home's rooms and key external locations for ou
