Nestled along the peaceful shoreline of Race Lagoon, this shy-acre waterfront retreat offers a rare lifestyle. Protected waters invite kayaking, paddleboarding, crabbing, fishing & quiet exploration, while Saratoga Passage lies just beyond. Here, the water becomes part of daily life. Launch a kayak from the lagoon, set a crab pot in Saratoga Passage, cast a line at sunset, or enjoy harvesting fresh seafood from some of Puget Sound's treasured waters. Mornings begin with coffee overlooking the lagoon as eagles soar overhead & the tide slowly reshapes the shoreline. Afternoons are spent on the water, working in the exceptional shop, or simply enjoying the serenity of this remarkable setting. Evenings bring glowing sunsets reflected across the lagoon & the kind of quiet that draws people to Whidbey. The nearly new shop, thoughtfully designed for serious woodworking, offers exceptional flexibility for hobbies, fitness, storage, projects & additional covered parking—a space where craftsmanship & creativity thrive. Set on nearly an acre, the property offers privacy, room to roam & a deep connection to nature. Wildlife is abundant, the setting is tranquil & the water is never far away. Some properties offer waterfront. Others offer a lifestyle. This rare Race Lagoon retreat delivers both—a place where memories are made, traditions take root & every day feels more connected to the rhythms of the island.
