The timeless and artful design of this home and guest suite has a calming and serene effect. This rare find on 220+/- ft of waterfront is prefect for use as a B&B, retreat or compound.
There are many structures and outdoor “rooms” on the property, each with their own unique personality and style. Here is a quick overview.
The Main House: This 4 bedroom, 4-1/2 bath waterfront home is sited perfectly to capture views through Saratoga Passage, Camano Island, Mt. Baker and beyond. Summer sunsets extend entertaining long into the evening. Bring the outdoors in on the expansive sun room for morning coffee. This open floor plan gives flexibility in living and dining.

The Studio: We saved the studio as a pleasant surprise. This lovely bungalow sits alongside the perennial garden and potting shed and is a sweet escape. Romantic, cozy and lovingly restored, this tastefully designed gem will steal your heart, nourish your soul and help you discover a quieter, more simple place.
The Potting Shed: Featured in Country Living magazine, this cute potting shed is surrounded by mature, well established, sun loving perennial gardens. The stylish design and practical layout will provide your inner gardener with the ideal spot to retreat, putter and relax.
The Barn: The 600 +/- square foot barn is located midway on the property and provides a convenient location for all of your equipment. The covered porch is a delightful place to take a break, enjoy the birdsong and contemplate the meaning of life. Well maybe that’s a bit much for a barn, but you get the idea. There is also a finished storage room.
Natural Habitat Ponds are part of the Backyard Wildlife Habitat and home to Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, resident Mallards and numerous bird species. Monet would have been delighted, and so will you.
The Wildflower Meadow is home to flowering perennials brought to life by butterflies and hummingbirds.
