In a recent feature on Seattle PI, Kirsten O’Brien calls to “city-slickin’ would-be ranchers, farmers and cowhands,” saying “we found your dream home.” The place? Majestic Joy Ranch, a 20-acre natural horsemanship property listed by Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty brokers Chris Doucet and Vicki Jackson. A retreat close to urban amenities, the resort-like facility boasts guest quarters, a 5-car garage, hay storage, a beaver pond, no-chemical input pastures and landscapes, natural horsemanship paddocks with a run-in shed for horses, and a round pen and trail with obstacle training.

For the past few days, I have been in Las Vegas for the Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates Global Networking Event! Monday’s Welcome Reception was followed by numerous breakout sessions covering topics from Brand Conversation and Negotiation to Leveraging Media and New Developments. To cap off an excellent week of learning, we made sure to embrace the moment by taking a family photo poolside at the Wynn.
I am leaving tomorrow and look forward to sharing all I've learned and the new roll outs Sotheby’s International Realty is introducing in the coming year. It’s always a pleasure to reconnect and make new friends within the Sotheby’s family!!
Property Spotlight: Glacier Peak View Home
A private drive leads toward sweeping 180 degree views at Glacier Peak, perched high above the stunning Snohomish Valley. Walls of windows carry throughout the home to frame iconic, easement protected Pacific Northwest views that complement a one-of-a-kind retreat situated across more than an acre of pristine land. Nestled within a quiet neighborhood, residents enjoy strong community ties and an excellent location where one feels miles away from it all yet remains close to boundless amenities.
This up-and-coming location is aided by the ever-growing Boeing Everett plant, which offers an ideal live/work lifestyle. While Glacier Peak feels like a retreat, locals enjoy a diverse range of activities from boutique shops and restaurants to family attractions including the Flying Heritage Collection and Imagine Children’s Museum; performances at Xfinity Arena and the Everett Performing Arts Center; and outdoor recreation at the Nishiyama Japanese Garden, Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens, and the more than 40 area parks. What’s more? Residents and visitors alike look forward to a number of dynamic annual activities including the Everett Farmers Market and a Waterfront Concert Series held at the second-largest marina on the West Coast.
