Discover the slower pace of island living in this custom cedar shake waterfront home on beautiful Puget Island. Offering 275' of waterfront, this thoughtfully designed home features comfortable main-level living with an open loft that's perfect for a home office, art studio, or creative retreat. Step onto the private back deck and soak in sweeping views of the water, surrounding hills, and abundant wildlife. A charming boardwalk winds through the trees to the shoreline where you can launch a kayak or canoe and explore the island's peaceful waterways. The detached two-car garage/shop includes a finished studio with a 3/4 bath and private balcony overlooking the water—ideal for guests, extended living, or potential rental income. Fruit trees welcome you home while deer, eagles, osprey, cranes, and other wildlife provide an ever-changing backdrop. Just minutes from the welcoming river town of Cathlamet, yet only a little over an hour from Portland or the Oregon Coast, this is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy waterfront living at its finest.
