About this home

Tucked away on Vashon Island’s coveted northwest side, this authentic timber-frame one-bedroom cottage offers a rare blend of craftsmanship, privacy, and waterfront access. Hand-crafted with exposed beams and warm wood details, the home lives large in its thoughtful design—vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and an inviting open living space create a timeless Northwest retreat. The kitchen and living area flow seamlessly for relaxed everyday living or cozy evenings by candlelight, while the bedroom provides a peaceful haven framed by natural textures and tranquil surroundings. Step outside to enjoy the rhythms of island life, with shared access to a community beach just moments away—perfect for sunset walks, beach combing, kayaking, paddle-boarding or summer campfires.

Whether you’re seeking a weekend escape, a simplified full-time residence, or an inspiring artist’s hideaway, this cottage delivers a lifestyle rooted in beauty and balance. Surrounded by mature trees and the quiet charm of Vashon’s west side, yet within easy reach of ferry service, local farms, and village amenities, this special property invites you to slow down and savor island living.

RA-2.5

Rural Area Zone

The purpose of the rural zone (RA) is to provide for an area-wide long-term rural character and to minimize land use conflicts with nearby agricultural or forest production districts or mineral extraction sites. These purposes are accomplished by: Limiting residential densities and permitted uses to those that are compatible with rural character and nearby resource production districts and sites and are able to be adequately supported by rural service levels; Allowing small scale farming and forestry activities and tourism and recreation uses that can be supported by rural service levels and that are compatible with rural character; Increasing required setbacks to minimize conflicts with adjacent agriculture, forest or mineral zones; and Requiring tracts created through cluster development to be designated as permanent open space or as permanent resource use.; Use of this zone is appropriate in rural areas designated by the Comprehensive Plan as follows: RA-2.5 in rural areas where the predominant lot pattern is below five acres in size for lots established prior to the adoption of the 1994 Comprehensive Plan.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Livestock production
Winery & vineyard
