About This Property

Island craft and culture characterize this small, sustainable home set on fifteen secluded acres of pasture, garden, and forest on Lopez Island. The home was built with enduring style and materials, from the polished concrete floors and hand-plastered walls to the custom vertical grain fir cabinetry. The main floor offers the convenience of one-story living, with an elegant entryway, a simple kitchen, open dining and living area, a full bathroom, and one bedroom, with an infrared sauna tucked into a utility & storage room. The well-insulated home is kept cozy and cool as needed by radiant heat, a Morse wood stove, and a mini-split. The light-filled tower, accessed via an elegant spiral staircase, looks out over the trees. Sit on the south-facing patio (sunny year round!) and enjoy the sound of the pond's cascading water, all surrounded by blooming lavender and ocean spray. A large outbuilding sits next to the home, with enclosed storage, a wood shed, a mechanical room for the solar array, and another covered area. An excellent well is complemented by an extensive catchment system supplied by five storage tanks. From the home, stroll down through the trees to a grove of native Garry oaks, an open pasture graced by an enormous cedar, and an enclosed garden with its rustic potting shed and work table with a view, fruit and nut trees, and a prolific blueberry patch. A four bedroom septic system on this acreage creates possibilities for another residence or guest house.
