Perched peacefully near the highest point of Orcas Island atop Buck Mountain, Chateau Nighthawk is a breathtaking custom-built chateau offering unmatched privacy and timeless Pacific Northwest beauty. Cross the drawbridge and over-the-moat like entry into a soaring 6,031 sq ft masterpiece set across 5.126 sprawling, gated acres. Large windows frame Puget Sound panoramic views of the San Juan islands, stretching all the way to the city lights of Victoria and Sidney, BC. Designed for grand-scale entertaining or quiet relaxation, the thoughtfully integrated living spaces feature masterful woodwork and a light-filled great room. The gourmet kitchen leads to a sunken dining hall with immense viewing windows and stained glass. A central staircase wraps around a natural rock waterfall, trailing down to a lower-level recreation floor complete with pool table-sized room, full wet bar, and access expansive decks. The primary suite occupies its own east turret wing boasting an ensuite with dual sinks, a jetted tub overlooking the islands, and a private sitting room complete with fireplace. Multiple turrets, a dedicated theatre room, a wood floor dance studio, and plenty of space make this a premier island compound. Located just minutes away from the heart of Eastsound's shops and restaurants, this 7-bedroom,5-bathroom estate is a rare opportunity for a generational retreat, wedding venue or business sanctuary. Come experience this fine home.
