If you’re thinking about buying a home in Maple Valley on one or more acres of land, there’s good news and there’s bad news.
The good news is, you’ll have a great selection from which to choose. From a smaller fixer on 4 acres to a sumptuous 6000 square foot plus Estates on 5 acres+.
The bad news? It’s not going to be cheap!
There are currently 67 homes on 1+ Acrein the greater Maple Valley area which fall within the Tahoma School District boundaries. These properties range in price from $269,000 to nearly $4 Million with the average List price $797,000-ish.
Many of these properties are in acreage type communities (some gated) surrounded by homes of similar size. But the majority will be what we refer to as “non-tract” homes, where there is more of a mixture of home types, sizes, age, etc as well as no Home Owner’s Associates and no Rules & Restrictions.
Long story short, whether you need room for horses, livestock, your garden, a shop….or just more room to spread out and play, Maple Valley has many homes available for sale now which could very well be just what you’re looking for!

"I was bitten by the "house-hunting bug" at a young age when I would go through the Sunday papers with my parents, looking for open houses. My father was an NFL football coach and we had moved several times throughout my childhood before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. I have come to view the house hunting and the moving process as an adventure, and although it can sometimes be stressful and inconvenient, I love the process as much today as I did back then!"
