About This Home

As of March 2016

Estate quality waterfront. The largest and best available with perfect westside location and 200+ degree view of Haro and Juan de Fuca Straits. Gently sloping madrona covered land. Easy to build on. Two private gravel beaches and spectacular rocky shoreline. Existing structure is solid and salvageable, but not currently habitable. It's mostly valuable for it's water's edge footprint. Active marine view of whales, shipping, fishing, kayaking. Rare opportunity for a true waterfront estate.
