Enjoy the ultimate in privacy and relaxation on 45 wooded acres surrounded by miles of towering Douglas fir and cedar forest. Relax in the eight person spa on the expansive deck overlooking the tranquil bay with a private mooring buoy for a 50 foot boat, enjoying views of the ferries, distant islands, eagles, osprey and blue herons fishing, and seals and river otters playing. Black tailed deer venture out at dusk, tempted by the three acres of landscaped lawn, gardens and woodlands. The 3000 sq.ft. main house and 1800 sq. ft. guesthouse/studio/office sleep 12 in five rooms with 3.5 baths.
The expansive master bedroom contains two vanities, a jacuzzi tub, private balcony and water and forest views. There is also another king bedroom, a queen bedroom with small loft, a child's bed in a nook and a full bath on this upstairs level. The guesthouse has two rooms with twins, each with a large loft above, a small kitchenette, a large play space, two desk areas and bathroom facilities with an oversized shower.
In the main house the spacious dining/sunroom and gourmet kitchen have been recently remodeled with granite countertops and new cabinetry. This is the perfect gathering spot for all the chefs to participate in preparing meals while enjoying the forest and water views and sharing stories of the day's kayaking, hiking, biking, sailing, scuba-diving, golf, whale-watching or deck-sitting activities. The large living room completes the great room area and contains the perfect sun-drenched window seat for reading, games, TV and watching the eagle, osprey and kingfisher activity.
