Rare opportunity to own 10+ acres of private waterfront, with forest and open fields, on quiet, peaceful Shaw Island. This special property has 574' of shoreline with expansive, 180° views over West Sound, Orcas Island, and Turtleback Mtn. The open plan 2400 SF 2 bed 2 bath home has been well cared for, with many upgrades over the years. It’s location, set back only ~65' from medium bank waterfront, provides a stunning vantage point to watch ferries, boats and wildlife. Shore is accessible. A darling guest house offers an inviting space for friends. More buildings, including an 800 SF shop, have room for projects, storage, or creative pursuits. A second adjacent parcel adds privacy and room for expansion. Excellent well.
