This area of less than 4,000 residents is passionate about preserving the character of life here, a result of the fact that people truly bond with the land and lifestyle.

The century-old towns of Roslyn and Cle Elum are rich in ethnic heritage. They feature a colorful mix of historic buildings, clapboard storefronts, and much more.

We are proud to be part of a community that cares so deeply about its land and how that land is used, qualities which serve to protect and enhance property values. While the natural beauty and open space may lure you here, it’s the lifestyle that will make you want to stay.

PROPERTY

Properties vary in size, versatility, amenities and views. Every acreage parcel offers you year-round access, maintained roads, underground power and phone, breathtaking scenery, and exceptional values. The area's natural beauty, and your investment are protected through common-sense covenants and design standards. In some cases, your privacy is ensured with gated, controlled access at main entrances.

PEOPLE

Ask anyone who lives in a city or suburb and they’ll probably tell you it's is far from perfect. The neighbors are too close. It’s noisy. There’s no sense of privacy or serenity.

What if you could come home to an environment that was peaceful and relaxing? What if your home was surrounded by pine trees and the wide-open space you’ve always dreamed of? What if you didn’t have to leave home to feel like you were on vacation?

Then you would have arrived at Sapphire Skies.

We are much like you; drawn by the area’s scenic beauty, recreational opportunities and rural character. For the congestion-weary, it’s an easy commute or car-pool to jobs based in Puget Sound, Ellensburg or Yakima.
