Welcome to Sylvan Sanctuary, an extraordinary 8-acre retreat stretching from lush old-growth forest to the shores of the sound, perched along the ridge just outside of Port Ludlow. This one-of-a-kind property blends timeless old-world charm with modern luxury, offering two distinct residences designed for both comfort and inspiration. The handcrafted main cottage, built in 2005 and inspired by a 1930s cabin, is rich with character and artisan detail. Lofted rooms, vintage hardware and lighting, hemlock-paneled walls, a striking stone fireplace, and soaring pitched ceilings create a warm and inviting atmosphere thoughtfully curated with craftsmanship at every turn. Complementing the estate is a newly built 911 SF guest house custom designed by Lindal Homes, featuring a living roof, one bedroom, and one bath. Beautifully appointed with top-of-the-line finishes and appliances, the home showcases elevated contemporary style with thoughtful details throughout, including custom black walnut cabinetry and doors. Additional outbuildings for gardening, workshop, or studio space. The true magic awaits outdoors, where dense native ferns, towering 200-foot cedars, and meandering pathways lead through the property to 350 feet of private tidelands and the sound. Surrounded by nature, privacy, and serenity, Sylvan Sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to experience Pacific Northwest living at its most magical!
