    What's special

    Overlooks lake samishNatural elevationMagnificent cedar treesGently sloping terrain
    Currently the only buildable Lake view with lake access. Tucked away on a quiet private drive, this beautifully positioned ½-acre lakeview lot captures the essence of Pacific Northwest living. The gently sloping terrain overlooks Lake Samish and magnificent cedar trees, creating a stunning natural backdrop for a custom home. The property's natural elevation is perfectly suited for a multi-level residence designed to capture panoramic lake views from every floor with one floor being a possible ADU. If you are thinking simplicity and would consider a manufactured home, that option too is available. Utilities are available at the property, water,sewer,electric and gas, making it ready for your vision to come to life. What makes it even more special is that a brand-new four-boat dock is currently being built. So your not just buying vacant land-you are buying a rare opportunity to build on Lake Samish with dock access already coming together. Located just a short walk down the hill. Enjoy the tranquility of lake living while remaining close to Bellingham, Mt. Vernon, Seattle, and Vancouver BC via nearby I-5. Walking trails, equestrian routes, and scenic rural roads make this an ideal setting for those who appreciate the outdoors. A rare opportunity to create a private Lake Samish retreat in one of Whatcom County’s most sought-after locations.
