About This Home

As of June 2025

A short stroll from the quaint seaside village of Langley lives a sweet cozy cottage on its own +/- 3.7 acres with big ol' cedars, firs & maples, and peek-a-boo views of Saratoga Passage from the upper-level deck. With deeded beach access in a private quiet neighborhood, your island sanctuary awaits. A wood stove and freestanding propane stove keep you warm and create an intimate and efficient living space. The loft bedroom has an expansive deck where views of the Sound & Cascades open in the winter months while the gorgeous surrounding forest provides a constant strong connection to nature & beauty. Check out the old artist's cabin at the edge of the forest ready for a new life. Welcome to "Happily Ever After" on Whidbey. Welcome home!
