This lovely house is located on the tip of Samish Island, just above high tide. It is owned by an oyster farmer who farms the surrounding waters of Samish Bay. Built to withstand harsh conditions — the salt, sand and constant breeze of the island elements — it’s solidly built and yet graceful. Amenities include heated concrete floors without a crawlspace, which is ideal for minimum maintenance. The solid timber frame construction and Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) keep the interior quiet and comfortable, even when the wind whips and howls during our famous winter storms. But its greatest amenities are its proximity to the tranquil water and views of Samish Bay, Lummi Island, Chuckanut Mountains and Mount Baker.
