Experience the perfect blend of views, craftsmanship, and privacy at this remarkable Discovery Bay retreat. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this custom-built log home captures sweeping water views, stunning sunsets, and panoramic Olympic Mountain vistas from nearly every room. Overlooking Beckett Point and Diamond Point, the setting offers a rare sense of tranquility and connection to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Built to endure, the home showcases quality construction and rustic elegance throughout, featuring three dramatic river rock fireplaces, white oak flooring in the great room, a concrete tile roof, and efficient hydronic heating. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light while framing ever-changing scenery, from passing wildlife to vibrant seasonal landscapes. A covered breezeway connects the detached two-car garage with a 720-square-foot apartment above, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, a home office, or potential rental income. Outdoor living shines with approximately 2,500 square feet of clear cedar decking designed for entertaining, relaxing, and soaking in the extraordinary surroundings. Located within the Ocean Grove community, residents enjoy access to a private beach, dog park, and trail system. More than a home, this is a legacy property designed to be enjoyed for generations.
