Historic 1906 Grand Farmhouse in Cashmere's scenic Brender Canyon on 20 acres
This beautiful and fully restored farmhouse, built in 1906 by one of the original pioneers in the Wenatchee Valley, is situated on 23 private acres in Brender Canyon, about 20 minutes from Leavenworth. With over 3,000 sq. ft. & 3 full stories, the farmhouse includes a huge stone wood-burning fireplace, comfortable furniture, carpet, lighting, hardwood floors, new bathrooms and fixtures, flat screen TV with a large movie library, beamed ceilings, antique furniture and period pieces throughout. There is a 10-foot dining room table handmade from the 100+-year wood made available during the restoration. There's a large wrap-around front deck with outdoor furniture in most seasons.
Five full bedrooms with an outdoor screened summer sleeping porch. The former attic was completely remodeled into a modern game room & den complete with large screen TV, ping pong table, game tables, and 2 large couches. New carpet, vaulted ceilings and ceiling fan plus modern lighting is throughout. There is only partial A/C in the summer, but the huge surrounding Black Walnut trees keep the house cooler than normal. We also have fans throughout.
The real charm from this historical property is in the land and surrounding vineyard, orchards, huge Black Walnut trees, flower gardens, pristine hills for hiking. These acres adjoin Forest Service Land for a peaceful setting with elk, deer, and other wild animals always close at hand. This is the perfect family getaway for a weekend or a week with Leavenworth so close, the Columbia River for boating, and quaint & quiet Cashmere with its parks, Pioneer Museum, Aplets & Cotlets store, wineries, bakeries, restaurants, little bowling alley, and huge antique market places. The Wenatchee River is nearby for summer floating.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Szmania
Our busy family of six includes three young adult sons and a daughter in Vancouver BC with two young grandsons. We operated a fine-dining restaurant in Seattle for over 24 years and currently own the Warm Springs Inn & Winery nearby on the Wenatchee River. Ludger was born and raised in Germany, so he naturally gravitated to the similarities of Bavaria and pioneer history of this old house. Julie Szmania was born & raised in Seattle, but grew up camping throughout the PNW and loves the outdoor beauty of the canyon. The farm is our happy family vacation home and the success of our vineyard, planted in 2008, requires a full family effort which we are proud of. Our private label Brender Canyon Vineyard estate vintages and Red Field Blends are available for sale at Warm Springs Inn & Winery.
Why they chose this property
Cashmere is like a dream come true in that is combines the beauty of all 4 seasons within 2 1/2 hours of Seattle. The Wenatchee River is close for tubing, the Columbia River is close for water sports and fishing. The mountains are close for skiing and we have hot enough weather to grow our own vineyard. This house is huge enough to have lots of families share it at one time without feeling crowded ever. Kids enjoy the 3rd floor game loft especially. We use our mountain & road bikes, as there are many hiking and horse trails. Plus 300 days of sunshine guaranteed in Cashmere is great & it's in the heart of Chelan Co. wine country. We liked the peace and privacy of acreage and families love all the activities surrounding the area.
What makes this property unique
The wild animals are wonderful - as long as they stay out of the vineyard. Herds of elk and deer roam the property, plus the occasional coyotes howl. We've seen a bear and a mountain lion, wild turkeys and song birds. The spring peonies are gorgeous, fruit trees and orchards are everywhere in the valley, the house is surrounded by 100+ foot tall Black Walnut trees for shade and sheer beauty. There's lots of grass to play croquet or badminton, slip & slide or throw a frisbee. Currently there are 2 turkeys and a rooster there. We treat this as our home to share with friends so it comes well stocked with everything we could think of that you might enjoy including limited firewood, books, movies, games, puzzles and kitchen items. Fiber optic lines for great, high speed free Wi-Fi were added in 2019.
