What's special

Level sandy beachfrontOpen-concept designWest-facing bankVaulted ceilings

Set along a coveted west-facing bank, this 1-bedroom, 1.5 bath home with vaulted ceilings captures sweeping views across Upright Channel — from passing ferries to unforgettable sunset skies. The open-concept design invites coastal living, while a winding path leads to the kind of level, sandy beachfront that’s rare to find in the San Juan Islands. Just steps from the tide line rests the true treasure: a 579 sq ft, beach cottage. Launch kayaks, dig for clams at low tide, steam fresh Dungeness crab, or drift off to the rhythm of gentle waves. This hard-to-find setting is a once-in-a-generation opportunity — just minutes from the conveniences of Lopez Village, the Ferry Landing and popular public beaches.
