Imagine a gated waterfront homestead so private and expansive it feels less like a traditional home and more like your own personal park. Perched on a high-bank double lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac this property is a rare sanctuary of security and exclusivity, where the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest serves as your daily backdrop. Designed as a private resort the estate offers an unparalleled blend of nature and luxury. The remodeled 2-bedroom main house acts as a sophisticated anchor flowing seamlessly onto a massive wraparound deck built for golden hour sunsets and panoramic views of the San Juan Islands. Just steps away a detached garage features a fully equipped mother-in-law suite providing a secluded retreat for guests, extended living, or a high-end creative studio. The true magic lies in the grounds. With 100 feet of pristine high-bank waterfront overlooking the shimmering waters of the Salish Sea, this residence is a rare gem that offers unparalleled coastal living and serenity. Spend afternoons in the cabana or host the ultimate summer reunions with ample space for RVs, this is a place where everyone can gather in comfort without ever feeling crowded. It’s a secure gated escape that prioritizes peace and play in equal measure. Whether you’re watching eagles soar from the deck or hosting a season-long retreat for the whole clan this isn't just a residence—it’s an irreplaceable waterfront legacy. Experience the serenity of a life lived on the water’s edge.
