About this home
Waterfront cabin with 551 feet of shoreline and amazing views across the Salish Sea toward Waldron, Orcas and Mt Baker. Three parcels total, creating a private waterfront holding that preserves the property's natural setting and sense of seclusion. With vaulted timber ceilings, exposed beams, slate floors, and expansive windows bringing natural light into the living spaces, the cabin maintains a strong connection to the waterfront setting. It offers a primary bedroom with lovely views, a bath with indoor/outdoor shower, a kitchen with adjacent dining area, a large secondary bedroom with bunk space, and comfortable nooks designed for reading, relaxation, and taking in the surrounding landscape. A private mooring buoy is included for vessel access. Designed for complete off-grid living, the property is supported by a well-established infrastructure system. Electrical power is supplied by a solar array with battery storage and propane-fueled generator backup. Water is collected through roof catchment systems, stored in multiple tanks, and purified through sediment, carbon, and UV filtration. Propane supports cooking, refrigeration, hot water, and heating, while a wood stove provides supplemental warmth. Additionally includes greenhouses to extend the growing season, along with a wood-fired hot tub positioned to capture sweeping views of the surrounding islands and Cascades. Waterfront properties of this quality and craftsmanship rarely come to market in the outer islands.
