Opportunity knocks—bring your vision to one of South Hill’s rarest offerings. This expansive, view-filled lot is the largest to hit the market in years, perfectly perched above Bellingham Bay and just moments from historic Fairhaven and all of the Southside’s beloved amenities. Design and build your dream home right away with permits already in hand for a gorgeous custom single-family residence, or unlock the site’s full potential with a thoughtfully conceived middle housing project. A professional land use report from AVT Consulting outlines a wide range of additional possibilities under current zoning, giving you a clearer roadmap from day one. The property is construction-ready, with improved sidewalk and alley access and no landmark trees on site—making site planning simpler, faster, and more cost-effective than many options.
