Virtual Tour of this unique home on Cortes Island!
Enjoy the peace and quiet of your own private oasis on this 6.96 acre property. The well built and well maintained custom home offers 2 generous sized bedrooms upstairs with vaulted ceilings plus a spacious family room with balcony. There is a home office or den on the main floor with a separate entrance. This room could easily be another bedroom. The main living area has an open floor plan design with 10 foot ceilings and over size windows that enjoy garden and ocean views. There is a lovely cherry hardwood floor in the living and dining areas. The oversized sliding glass door opens on the main sun deck which overlooks the pond and garden and enjoys great ocean views. The custom kitchen is well laid out and designed to inspire creativity in the chef.
There are two bathrooms with the four piece upstairs bathroom featuring a genuine brass ships port hole for a window.
There are 3 skylights and all windows are double paned and wood cased. There is a sliding glass door off the family room to enjoy the ocean and mountain views and gives access to the upstairs balcony. The home offers wrap around decks, some with glass coverings and all overlooking the expansive gardens and views. The home is on a good 4’ perimeter foundation which offers extra storage. The orientation is to the SW to maximize natural day light and take advantage of solar gain.
The area immediately surrounding the home is fenced and offers extensive mature, easy care, lush landscaping which includes productive garden beds and many ornamental shrubs and perennials. There are many seating areas to hide away in and just enjoy the garden. There is a good size koi pond with a private viewing platform that is great for afternoon siestas!
The out buildings include a garage/shop/gym, two car ports, a storage building, wood shed and a barn.
The property is well treed and the long driveway and placement of the home offers total privacy. The home is oriented to the SW to take advantage of the solar gain in the over sized windows and to provide lots of natural light.
Water is from a good drilled well and there is an approved septic system. The home is wired for back up generator power and the main heat source is a propane heater that provides a nice clean comfortable heat. The roof is heavy duty metal and the home is very well insulated and built to code with top quality materials.
The property is conveniently located within walking distance of the ferry yet it is very private and quiet.
