Quiet Lake Community known as Glenhaven.

April 2, 2009 by Dale Kreiser · Comments 

Looking north at Reed Lake

Looking north at Reed Lake

Glenhaven is a quiet community built around 2 lakes, Reed lake that spills over into Cain Lake.  Both lakes are kept quiet due to the prohibition of motor boats and jet skis. Only quiet electric motors and paddle power allowed.  Larger Lake Whatcom is only a 5 minutes drive to South Lake Whatcom public boat ramp, that allows power boats.

The mountain to the west is Lookout Mountain and boasts many great hiking trails including Squires Lake, and spectacular views from the summit.  The mountain to the east is called Anderson Mountain.There are currently 678 homes in Glenhaven with 5 more in the construction phase.  The community consists of 1198 lots.

Fun place for gatherings.

Fun place for gatherings.

The community has some great ammenities that include the clubhouse pictured here which is available for members to use for those special gatherings.  Located on the Glenhaven Island on Glenhaven Drive.

The community heated swimming pool is a hit during the long days of summer.  The pool offers full time life guards, adult swim time and occasionally has  swimming classes.

Just to the south of the swimming pool you’ll find a tennis court and several basketball hoops to practice your shots.  The island also has a large grass field to enjoy and play set for younger children to explore.  Along the grassy field is a nice pebble beach on Cain Lake’s northern shore. That’s where you’ll find me and my family on most warm summer days with our Kayaks close by.

Much of the area has either lake views or mountain views. On some of the higher lots you may find great views of the Twin Sisters.  The numerous large cedar and hemlock trees throughout the community adds character.

The orientation of Glenhaven is almost directly between Burlington I-5 exit 236, and Bellingham I-5 exit 252,and only 6 miles from Glenhaven to the freeway at I-5 exit 240. Glenhaven Map  For additional information check out GlenhavenHomes.

If you are looking for a valley of refuge and safety, thus it’s meaning, take a drive over and let me show you around.  I live and work here all year around.

All the Best,

Fairhaven: Where Real Estate and Good Food…

March 25, 2009 by Dale Kreiser · Comments 

go hand in hand.  When I’m not talking about the 37 Ho12th Street Villagemes listed within 1 mile radius of Fairhaven ranging from $249,000 for a 2bedroom/1 bath home up to $3.5 million for an Edgemoor estate, more than likely food is on my mind.  Not a glutenous type of craving for mass quantities, but more of a healthy thought of what would be pleasing to the palate. 

Artisan Cheese & Accoutrements

On facebook a dear friend and classmate named Kim, from Eagle Point high school class of 84′ advised me to check out a friend’s Artisan cheese shop in downtown Fairhaven.  I don’t know about you, but I’m fiend for Gouda or Dubliner with a nice glass of inexpensive red wine, a few friends…Oh, so I finally went to check out Quel Fromage  yesterday. 

The shop is on the street level at the corner of 12th and Fairhaven boulevard in the 12 Street Village.  It’s within a few blocks proximity to down town Fairhaven.  Inside I was pleasantly greeted by Rachel Riggs the owner along with a wonderful assortment of wineQuel Fromage quote, and but of course lots of fine cheeses.  It took me maybe 3 milliseconds to take focus on a chunk of Balarina Gouda cheese that was marked $9 for a half pound.  I must say that is some of the best cheese I’ve ever had.

Behind the counter you’ll find the French Proverb shown to the right…

“He who does not eat cheese will go mad”  

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’m not going to take the chance.

 Location, location, location.  You could hardly go wrong with any property that is close to Fairhaven.  From the terrific views of South Hill to the Edgemoor Neighborhoodamazing neighborhood of Edgemoor, you would only be minutes away from some wonderful boutiques, fine dining, great coffee houses and many other sole proprietor businesses.

Allow me to give you a personal tour of my favorite place in the world.  Call me anytime.
