Private South Shore Legacy Property on 33 Acres

What was once a historic rock quarry on the southshore of Lake Chelan has been masterfully transformed by Kneisly Timber Homes into one of the most unique and commanding properties on the lake. Completely incorporated into the natural contours of 33 private acres, this timber frame-style home and ADU at 11645 S Lakeshore Rd sit perched above the shoreline in a secluded, pine-filled sanctuary with breathtaking views of the lake and Northshore terrain — all bordered by endless Washington State public lands.

 

Recently, Chelan Tree Service was brought in to clear overgrowth, regrade, scrape, and terrace the land — dramatically opening up the views and making this already prominent setting even more commanding. The primary residence, built in 1995, is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 1,514 SF two-story home showcasing reclaimed timbers and hand-selected wood woven throughout every detail.

South Shore Retreat

Offered at $839,000

 

The ADU, built in 1999, is a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 540 SF cabin with a full kitchen and the same quintessential timber character — perfectly suited for short-term rental income or private guest accommodations. Property draws water directly from the lake for irrigation and domestic use, with underground PUD power and a 3-bedroom septic.

 

Close to Fields Point to catch the Lady of the Lake to Stehekin, and just minutes from 25 Mile Creek State Park for water access, marina, and boat launch. A rare southshore legacy property with real income upside — nothing else like it on Lake Chelan.
