Rare opportunity to build in Birch Bay, a sought-after coastal community known for its beaches, trails, and relaxed seaside lifestyle. This west-facing lot offers the potential for sunset views, with Terrell Creek bordering the property and providing a peaceful natural backdrop with access to the bay. Ideally located near public beaches, Birch Bay State Park, boating, and water activities including kayaking right out your future back door. Situated on a quiet, established street, the property has undergone preliminary review with Whatcom County for critical area requirements, confirming the lot is buildable within those guidelines. A virtual home design concept is available, illustrating a potential 2,500 sq. ft. multi-level residence with garage, decks, and possible ADU configuration (buyer to verify). An excellent opportunity for a full-time residence or coastal retreat, with convenient access to I-5 for travel north or south, including easy connections between British Columbia and the greater Seattle area.
To accommodate the county’s need for medium and higher density and compatible nonresidential areas in urban growth areas, as identified in the appropriate subarea Comprehensive Plan. Since Urban Residential Medium Density areas may be adjacent to other land uses, compatibility among adjacent uses shall be accomplished through responsible design and development considerations of this district.
