About this home

Sweeping Views, Serene Privacy & Endless Potential on Orcas Island! Perched in the Highlands with a stunning bird’s-eye perspective of Orcas Island and beyond, this inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and island adventure. Tucked away at the end of the road, the property feels wonderfully secluded while remaining just minutes from Moran State Park and Eastsound Village. Custom-built by a respected local craftsman, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and features a newer roof, fresh paint, and updated heating and septic systems. Take in year-round sunsets, distant views stretching toward Canada, and ever-changing vistas of some of Orcas Island’s most iconic landmarks. And then there’s the potential: more than 1,200 square feet of unfinished space awaits your vision. Create additional living areas, an art studio, guest quarters, a workshop, or a remote work office. This home is connected to Rock Island Fiber internet to meet your work and entertainment needs. Whether you're seeking a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a home with room to make your own, this special Orcas Island property offers a rare combination of privacy, panoramic views, and possibilities.
