4160 Mud Bay Road · Lopez Island, WA 98261

Rustic and rooted in island culture, this sweet little property sits on half an acre of peaceful land on Lopez Island's south end. Originally built as a hunting cabin, the main building has evolved into an inviting and cozy home with an open living/kitchen area warmed by an enormous wood stove (or the propane heating/cooling unit), two bedrooms, a full bathroom, an attached greenhouse, and a laundry room. Retreat into the hand-built studio, aka "the coop," to work or just idle the time away in the quiet, light-filled space tucked amongst towering Douglas firs. Soak up the afternoon sun and the solace of nature in the meditation hut, which looks out over irrigated garden beds and a lovely pond. The sunny clearing by the pond has been the site of many joyful gatherings, and you will never be short of birds and woodland visitors who also appreciate this half-wild, half-cultivated haven. Completely private and enclosed on the north/street side by hand-hewn clapboards made from salvaged, island grown cedar and fir logs, and fully fenced along the boundary shared with the neighboring farm. Cold plunge alcove, composting toilet situated in an outbuilding near the coop studio, sheltered sitting and storage areas, large fire pit, buried erratic boulder near pond, older growth trees, and more. Conveniently located near Watmough Bay beach, many hiking trails, and Islandale Grocery and Restaurant.
