Set on 23 gated waterfront acres on Whidbey Island, this one-of-a-kind private estate brings together beautiful Puget Sound views, 800 feet of private beach, a deep-water dock, mature landscaping, multiple guest houses, private suites, a charming lighthouse-style kids’ retreat, expansive lawns, an outdoor kitchen, billiards room, tennis court, putting green, and a fully fenced dog park.
This is not simply a large vacation home. It feels like a private PNW waterfront club — designed for family reunions, executive retreats, wedding weekends, milestone celebrations, and unforgettable time together.
The estate sleeps up to 40 guests and gives large groups something very rare: space to gather, space to celebrate, and space to spread out.
THE ESTATE
From the moment you arrive through the gated entrance, the property feels private, peaceful, and special. Mature evergreens, landscaped gardens, open lawns, waterfront views, and quiet pathways create the feeling of having your own private island retreat.
Spend the morning with coffee on the deck, walk down to the beach as the tide moves through the bay, gather for lunch by the outdoor kitchen, play billiards in the glass-wrapped lounge, enjoy tennis or putting in the afternoon, then end the evening with your group spread across the patios, lawns, and waterfront gathering spaces.
Every part of the estate is designed for connection — but because the property is so large, guests can also find quiet corners to relax, read, work, or enjoy the view.
MAIN HOUSE
The Main House is the heart of the estate and the primary gathering space. It has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 10 people.
Inside, you’ll find a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, skylights, elegant chandeliers, hardwood floors, large artwork, and multiple seating areas for conversation and connection.
The glass-wrapped billiards room is one of the estate’s signature spaces, with a pool table, beautiful natural light, water views, and direct access to the deck.
A bright waterfront lounge offers another peaceful place to relax, with large windows framing the surrounding trees and water. It is perfect for morning coffee, quiet reading, or conversations that naturally stretch late into the evening.
Outside, the Main House opens to expansive decks, outdoor dining areas, patio seating, and a covered outdoor kitchen. This is where the whole group can gather for casual BBQs, private-chef dinners, cocktail hour, or sunset conversations overlooking the grounds and water.
LODGE HOUSE & PRIVATE SUITES
The Lodge House is ideal for large groups because it provides both privacy and shared space.
Guests can enjoy a comfortable common area with a full kitchen, island seating, dining space, living room, fireplace, and TV. It works beautifully as a second gathering space, retreat breakout area, breakfast spot, or relaxed evening lounge.
The Lodge also includes 11 private guest suites, each with ensuite bathrooms, walk-in showers, vanities, desks or seating areas, and peaceful views of the trees and grounds.
For corporate retreats, wedding groups, and multi-family stays, this layout is a major advantage: guests can stay close together while still having their own private rooms to return to at the end of the day.
LIGHTHOUSE KIDS’ RETREAT
One of the most charming parts of the estate is the cute lighthouse-style structure tucked among the trees and lawns.
For kids, it feels like a magical little hideaway — part lighthouse, part treehouse, and completely unforgettable. It is a fun and cozy space where younger guests can feel like they have their own special adventure spot within the estate.
Families love this kind of detail because it gives children a place that feels imaginative and memorable, while still being part of the larger private estate experience.
WATERFRONT, BEACH & DOCK
The waterfront is one of the most unforgettable parts of the property.
The estate includes approximately 800 feet of private beach, beautiful Puget Sound views, and a deep-water dock. Follow the private path down through the trees toward the shoreline, where the view opens across the water and the pace of the day naturally slows down.
Walk the beach, watch the tide move through the bay, take photos by the water, enjoy quiet moments on the dock, or simply sit and take in the peaceful Whidbey Island scenery.
This is the kind of waterfront setting that makes a stay feel truly different.
OUTDOOR AMENITIES
