About This Home
Perched above the water on a dramatic Orcas Village shoreline, this reimagined coastal retreat feels like a place you arrive—and instantly exhale. With 345± ft of waterfront and sweeping views across Cayou Channel, the home is immersed in light, movement, and the quiet rhythm of the sea. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, creating the sensation of floating above the water. The 3,411± sf layout is both refined and deeply comfortable, with mirrored primary suites, spa-like baths, warm wood-burning fireplaces, and spaces designed for both gathering and retreat. Every detail has been thoughtfully elevated, blending modern design with a calming, grounded energy. Step outside to launch a kayak, wander to the nearby ferry and village, or simply stay still and watch the horizon shift. Rarely does a home balance beauty, ease, and feeling so effortlessly—this is island living at its most captivating.
