Must love nature. This is the ideal place to raise children (or have your grandchildren visit!), and a nature lover's paradise! Close to South Whidbey public schools (bus stop in front of house), Waldorf, Salish Sea Montessori, and Island Christian School, so you have many options! Walk to park, beach, grocery store, drug store, cafes and restaurants. Quick drive to world class hiking trails, country club with outdoor pool and golf course, athletic club with indoor pool, cranberry bog, parks, Deception Pass, Langley, Coupeville, beaches, and some of the world's best mushroom and truffle hunting. Incredible fishing and crabbing. Couple hour drive to world class skiing and mountain biking. The house is located on 1.2 acres, on a safe and quiet neighborhood street. There are many fruit trees in the yard- pears, plums, apples, cherries, and blackberries. Bake fresh blackberry and apple pies from your own yard! Or press fresh apple cider in the fall. We have 100 feet of private beachfront and a private dock. Dig up your own steamer clams for delicious spaghetti. Or take a kayak out in the harbor to collect crab and make fresh crab cakes or sushi. Catch salmon just north of the harbor and come home to BBQ cedar planked salmon on your back deck. Our yard is filled with wildlife- deer visit daily and sleep in the upper yard; Mama deer hides her babies in the bushes each spring; otters frolic in the yard with their new baby pups and build their den on the beach below; osprey teach their young to fish; 4 eagles live here year round and often rest on the dock; seals, sea lions and porpoises live year-round in the harbor. Orcas even visit from time to time! Winters are so cozy in this home, with two wood-burning fireplaces perfect for roasting marshmallows and watching the snow fall over the ocean. This is really as good as it gets! We are hoping to find renters that will love it as much as we do!
