About this home
This is the most unique property on Lake Samish because it is situated on a point at the end of a road that extends out into the lake with water all around it, meaning no neighbors on either side. There is no other property on the lake that has this kind of exclusion, approximately 800 ft. of waterfront, big evergreen trees, and good sun. The property has two legal lots with their own parcel numbers.
