ENCHANTING ARTIST SANCTUARY. A unicorn in a field of horses. Three dreamers have called this magical Orcas Island property home: a ballerina, a writer, and now an artist. It was built for a life of creativity, and it shows. The sun-drenched, south-facing Main Cabin (approx. 578 sq ft, 1 bedroom) is cedar-built and overflows with island charm: pine interior, sleeping loft, claw foot tub, cozy window seat, built-in shelving, wood stove, ductless heat pump, and laundry. Abundant natural light fills every corner, and irises bloom in front of the cabin. The property cascades down the hillside in terraces, each level revealing its own natural beauty. Forsythia and lilac line the path from the cabin up to the cedar Art Studio (approx. 200 sq ft), flooded with natural light and forest views, capturing everything a creative soul craves. The cedar Cottage (approx. 230 sq ft) has a newly added bathroom, ready for visitors, plus a private deck and a spacious platform beside it, an open-air living room perfect for yoga, painting, picnics, or quiet contemplation. A mini orchard of apple and pear trees, room for added gardens, and graceful madronas round out this one-of-a-kind sanctuary. Minutes from Judd Cove Preserve and Eastsound village. No HOA. Minimal restrictions. If you've dreamed of a place that feeds your soul and sparks your imagination, this is it. Beautiful starlight included.
