Elevated on a high bluff, your home offers all the advantages of waterfront living – with dazzling protected vistas, luxurious seclusion, and tranquil proximity to nature. The Olympic Rain Shadow ensures a sunny temperate climate with average annual precipitation of only 20 inches (in contrast to 35 inches in Seattle).
Thoughtful Northwest Modernism. Sited to maximize and frame spectacular vistas of the Salish Sea and Olympic Mountains from the great room, kitchen, and owner’s suite, as well as the outdoor living and dining area and romantic outdoor lounge attached to the owner’s suite, the home’s vernacular architectural style employs rustic natural materials, walls of windows, and artisanal local craftmanship to connect with the extraordinary landscape. The single-floor design, with no-stair access from the roomy two-car garage, welcomes all generations and physical abilities.
Whether you inhabit the light-filled home as a weekend retreat or as your primary residence, your guests will love gathering in the soaring great room with renovated open kitchen and breathtaking water views, seamlessly connected to outdoor living and dining. Overnight visitors will relish the cozy comfort of the woodland-facing guest rooms, cocooned by nature, and plentiful parking for cars, boats, and RV.
Versatile Options. Explore the opportunities presented by the unusual double-lot property comprising Parcel A, zoned Rural Residential, and Parcel B, zoned Rural. Purchase Parcel B alone to hold as an investment, to add to your neighboring land while preserving the priceless views, or perhaps to build a petite guesthouse. Or purchase both parcels together to keep the views intact and possibly develop Parcel B in keeping with local regulations. A feasibility study by Flat Rock Productions of Langley is available on request, but buyers are urged to make their own inquiries, as the seller makes no assurances about the viability of development.
You will never have a dull moment as you gaze out at Admiralty Inlet, which connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca to our own Puget Sound. Most commercial and military maritime traffic entering Puget Sound must pass by your home. Be prepared to witness the majestic glide of freighters, tankers, and cruise ships and the leisurely crisscrossing of Washington State ferries to and from Port Townsend to the west. Sip your cocktail in the salt-tanged air and drink in the long, vivid sunset. Inhale the perfume of lilacs and keep your binoculars handy to celebrate the seasonal appearance of orcas and the first flight of baby eagles.
With a community park next door, let the active island lifestyle invigorate and rejuvenate you! Recreational opportunities abound in this ideally located enclave.

Since time immemorial, the island has been the ancestral hunting, fishing, and gathering domicile of Native Lower Skagit and Snohomish peoples. The town of Coupeville, settled by sea captains and farmers in the 1850s, is one of the oldest settlements in Washington State. The lush, fertile landscape supports working farms and vineyards, while nineteenth-century stables and barbershops enjoy an afterlife as bookstores, breweries, and hip cafes. Run out for farm-fresh berries or a just-baked pie; ramble along picturesque Bluff Trail at Ebey’s Landing; sample luscious Penn Cove mussels at the source

In Episode 36, “An Orcas Ethos,” Edward speaks with Craig Gibson, fourth-generation owner of North Beach Inn (NBI), located on the outskirts of the remote village of Eastsound. Craig’s forebears acquired the 100-acre waterfront fruit farm in 1911. In 1932 they constructed a handful of the 16 rustic cottages now dotting NBI’s eight-mile stretch of sandy beach, where panoramic sunsets brighten Canada’s Gulf Islands. Listen to the extraordinary saga of an Island family as they steward the homestead into its second century.
