About this home

Tara Drive // An Exceptional Waterfront Estate on Mutiny Bay. Set on 280 feet of Mutiny Bay shoreline, this remarkable waterfront estate captures sweeping western views of the Olympic Mountains, unforgettable sunsets, and one of Whidbey Island's finest sandy beaches. Rare expanded beach ownership extending beyond neighboring properties provides an uncommon sense of privacy, control, and lasting value. Thoughtfully positioned for both views and seclusion, the residence is nestled among mature evergreens, creating a remarkably private setting with beautifully designed, low-maintenance grounds that encourage effortless waterfront living. Spanning more than 6,100 square feet, the home reflects exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design. Its generous proportions feel equally comfortable for everyday living as they do for large gatherings, with expansive entertaining spaces that flow seamlessly to covered terraces overlooking the water. Four luxurious view suites—including a serene primary retreat with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, private deck, and spa-inspired bath—are complemented by a media room, recreation spaces, fitness room, loft, and private spa. This is a home of quiet confidence—understated rather than ostentatious, defined by quality rather than excess. Combining extraordinary beach ownership, exceptional construction, and one of the Pacific Northwest's most coveted waterfront settings, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy waterfront living at its finest.
