About this home

STUNNING NORTH SHORE WATERFRONT, A RARE ORCAS ISLAND SANCTUARY Reached by a meandering drive through a reserve of majestic old-growth cedar forest, this extraordinary waterfront retreat sits perched along the shores of the Salish Sea in one of Orcas Island's most magical locations. Sweeping 180° views unfold across the water to Mt. Baker, the Canadian Coast Mountains, and the surrounding San Juan Islands including Sucia, Patos, and Lummi. Ever-changing marine light, dramatic sunsets, and endless coastal scenery create a breathtaking backdrop. Wildlife is abundant and ever-present. Bald eagles nest in the towering cedars, raising their young overhead, while orcas pass through nearby waters, herons wade the shoreline, and harbor seals bask on sun-warmed rocks. Stone steps, crafted by local artisan Zack Leck, descend to 169 feet of accessible beachfront, tidepools teeming with sea life, and calm waters perfect for kayaking. The 4,014 sq ft residence features soaring ceilings, hardwood and stone floors, four fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, sunroom, and a great room framing the water like a living painting. An attached 2-bedroom guest suite offers full kitchen, bath, and living room. Landscaped grounds include manicured lawns, a fenced garden with raised beds, and an orchard of plum, apple, and cherry trees. Minutes to Eastsound yet worlds away.
