CHECK AVAILABILITY

San Juan Island - The house has a wrap-around balcony, a deck, spacious rooms with an abundance of natural light, and custom designed bathrooms. The combined kitchen/dining room is large and opens out directly to the garden.
Located 40 meters from a stunning tidal Bay (see photos), you'll be able to fish for your own crabs or go for a tonic swim. The bay is also great for taking out the row boat and the kayak available for you to use. If you value peace and quiet, you'll appreciate that the house is secluded and accessed by a private lane. If you enjoy hikes, you can take the trail up to nearby Mt Young and its 360 view. If you like dining outside, relaxing, and watching the sun set, you can enjoy doing so in the large natural garden that slopes down to a private beach. We love watching the herons, and other wildlife while sitting outside.
On the other side of the house, you will find pastures with horses and cows, an alpaca farm, small lakes, and rolling hills.
