888 Farrington Rd, Port Angeles, WA 98363

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own nearly 120 acres of pristine Northwest wilderness—a private waterfront, forest, and wildlife sanctuary adjacent to protected lands and steeped in Olympic Peninsula history. This extraordinary offering includes approximately 22.4 acres of tidelands and approximately 97.3 acres of upland property, with one acre already removed from timber tax classification for an existing homesite. Enjoy approximately 1,000 feet of private beachfront with tideland rights, where you can take in sweeping views of Striped Peak to the east and Vancouver Island to the north. The shoreline is alive with coastal wildlife—great blue herons, gulls, eagles, and a variety of native seabirds that frequent the beach daily. The Strait of Juan de Fuca provides a constant backdrop of marine traffic, including tankers, cargo vessels, fishing boats, and seasonal cruise ships, with occasional whale sightings adding to the magic of this coastal setting. The property also includes Nelson Creek salmon-rearing frontage and an approximately 85-acre timber stand composed primarily of red alder, mixed with large maple trees and scattered fir. The land sits adjacent to the 280-acre Lyre Conservation Area, conserved by the North Olympic Land Trust and open to the public for daytime recreation. The Lyre Conservation Area can be accessed directly from this property by walking west along the beach, or from Reynolds Road, giving owners seamless access to miles of protected shoreline, forest trails, and riverfront habitat. The Olympic Peninsula is renowned for world-class hiking, fishing, kayaking, and surfing, with Olympic National Park, Lake Crescent, and miles of rugged coastline all within easy reach. The shoreline carries a remarkable sense of place. This beach was once home to Gettysburg, a logging town founded in 1891 by Robert Getty and fellow homesteaders who developed the area to support the booming timber industry. The town included a hotel, post office, schoolhouse, cemetery, bunkhouses, homes, and farm buildings. Remnants of the former settlement can still be found today, offering a rare glimpse into early Peninsula history. A 2008 pole building provides a two-car garage and a roughed-in 2-bed/2-bath apartment above with an expansive deck overlooking the property. Utilities include Crescent Water, electricity, and a three-bedroom septic system. A future homesite has been cleared, and the property enjoys two legal access points—one from Farrington Road and another from Hwy 112 at Reynolds Road, offering flexibility for future development or land-use planning. Zoned Commercial Forest / Mixed Use 20 (CFM20), the land supports a wide range of allowed uses: primitive campgrounds, RV parks, single-family dwellings, home enterprises, cluster developments, timber harvesting, and other permitted land uses. Wildlife is abundant, with elk, deer, bears, chipmunks, and even cougars moving through the property’s natural corridors. Four parcels are included in the sale: 093127110000 (approximately 15.2 acres of tidelands), 093127210000 (approximately 7.2 acres of tidelands), 0931272101002001 (1-acre homesite), and 0931272101001000 (approximately 96.3 acres of timber). 2026 taxes are $4,036—significantly reduced due to the timber classification, offering a substantial long-term ownership benefit.
