Welcome to one of Samish Island's most exceptional waterfront estates—where island living meets the convenience of road access with no ferry required. Set on just shy of 3 acres across three parcels, this remarkable property offers 210 feet of high-bank waterfront with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Salish Sea. A private boat moorage provides effortless access to some of the Pacific Northwest's finest boating, fishing, crabbing, and island cruising. The timeless 3-bedroom traditional home is perfectly positioned to capture the spectacular water views while offering warmth, character, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Expansive windows frame the ever-changing coastal landscape. Many extras, including a temperature-controlled wine cellar add a refined touch. Outside, the beautifully manicured grounds create a private park-like setting featuring an in-ground swimming pool, pool house with bathroom and sleeping quarters for overnight guests, spacious detached shop set up for woodworking, separate garage, and RV parking. The three-parcel configuration, with access from both Samish Island Road and Marshall Road, offers outstanding privacy, convenience, and possible future development. Legacy properties of this caliber are exceptionally rare. Combining nearly 3 acres, 210 feet of waterfront, private boat moorage, spectacular grounds, and amenities, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Samish Island's most iconic waterfront homes.
