About this home

Welcome to Terra Mare, a legacy property built with love & passion on 1,028 ft of high bank waterfront on Orcas Island. Secluded & private, enjoy captivating views over East Sound to Rosario Resort & twinkling Eastsound Village lights, surrounded by a forest of evergreens & vibrant Madronas alive with owls, eagles & passing whales. The heart of the home is a large, complex, custom designed cathedral like timber frame built of mountain grown Douglas fir by Hamill Creek of British Columbia. Signature curved timber elements & an outstanding hammer beam bent design create soaring, vaulted ceilings, over 32 ft in the Great Room. The open plan lets rooms flow freely, unbroken by center posts. 10 ft ceilings continue through the lower level. High end finishes throughout: a durable metal roof, a Brazilian cherrywood spiral staircase & 2 wood burning fireplaces. The primary suite offers a picture window with bench seating, a private fireplace & a spa like en suite with a stunning shower view. A detached, full timber frame garage w/ 18 ft loft above is outfitted w/ its own kitchen & bath, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A partially finished guest house offers room for your own touch, & a detached gym space sits perched atop the cliff w/ filtered views. New boiler installed this summer; private well. Gather outdoors on the expansive composite deck, framed by 180° views of Moran State Park & surrounding mountains. A meandering trail leads down to the water's edge.
