Pastoral 1.4 acres slope gently westward, catching a water view of East Sound over Ship Bay. The property offers a rare mix of structures for flexible living: a cozy hand-built log cabin with half-bath, new roof, and skylights — with a hot tub on the deck; a large Davis tent on a deck platform; and a double-wide manufactured home (title not eliminated) with two bedrooms, two baths, stackable washer/dryer, dishwasher, new exterior paint, and a mini-split, with a deck overlooking sunset views over the meadow and sound. An additional excellent building site awaits a larger home. No CC&Rs. A few fruit trees — apple and plum — plus pine and fir dotting the landscape in private groves. Ideal for horses, other animals, or a small farm. Eastsound Water, newer 3-bedroom septic, and a fenced garden round out the offering. Minutes from Moran State Park and Eastsound Village.
