About this home

Perched above the sparkling waters of Orcas Village, this reimagined coastal retreat captures the essence of endless island summers. With 345± feet of shoreline and panoramic views stretching across Cayou Channel, every day begins with sun dancing on the water and ends with breathtaking sunsets over the sea. Inside, walls of glass frame the ever-changing marine landscape, creating the feeling of living right on the water's edge. The 3,411± sf home is designed for both relaxed getaways and unforgettable gatherings, featuring dual primary suites, spa-inspired baths, inviting wood-burning fireplaces, and beautifully updated spaces that blend modern comfort with timeless coastal charm. Spend your days launching kayaks from the shoreline, strolling to the nearby village for coffee or dinner, catching the ferry for an island adventure, or simply unwinding on the deck as boats drift by. Whether it's a summer escape, a weekend retreat, or a place to create lasting memories with friends, this exceptional waterfront home offers the very best of island living—where every day feels like vacation.
