Along the water’s edge in Entiat, this shop-home blends rental-ready versatility with an easygoing river lifestyle. A spacious six-car garage anchors the main level, with 1,320 square feet of living quarters above offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The open-concept living area flows out to a generous deck—an ideal spot to settle in with serene river views. Below, the fully finished 1,080-square-foot garage doubles as an entertainment zone with a grand game/TV room and a convenient 3/4 bathroom, while a separate 720-square-foot third-bay garage is designed for storing toys, boats, or vehicles. Set on 0.86 acres, the property includes a shared dock, RV parking, 600-amp service, a hot tub hookup, a boat lift, and a jet ski ramp—built for weekends that drift effortlessly into longer stays.

Along the water’s edge on Race Lagoon in Coupeville, this shy-acre waterfront retreat makes the shoreline part of everyday living. Protected waters invite kayaking, paddleboarding, crabbing, fishing, and quiet exploration, with Saratoga Passage just beyond for setting a crab pot or casting a line at sunset. Mornings unfold with coffee overlooking the lagoon as eagles soar overhead and the tide slowly reshapes the shoreline; evenings settle into glowing sunsets reflected across the water and the deep quiet that draws people to Whidbey. Between it all, a nearly new shop—thoughtfully designed for serious woodworking—adds rare versatility for hobbies, fitness, storage, projects, and additional covered parking. With privacy, room to roam, abundant wildlife, and a tranquil setting, life here stays closely attuned to the island’s natural rhythms.

From its elevated setting in Bayview Estates, this expansive two-story retreat is framed by uninterrupted views and a rare sense of privacy. The open-concept main level unites the kitchen, dining area, and living space, flowing out to expansive decks and a secluded patio for easy indoor-outdoor living. A dedicated indoor gym opens directly to its own private patio, while a main-floor bedroom with an en-suite bath adds flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite pairs a five-piece bath and walk-in closet with a private deck and outdoor shower. Two additional bedrooms and a large media and entertainment room round out the level, with yet another deck featuring a hot tub, BBQ area, and sweeping views. Dual access from Dash Point Road or through Twin Lakes completes the experience.

Along the water’s edge on sought-after Samish Island—no ferry needed—this 3-bedroom waterfront retreat frames breathtaking water and mountain views from large view windows and light-filled living spaces. Mornings begin with sunrises over the bay; evenings settle into panoramic outlooks toward Lummi Island and Mt. Baker. Designed to stay closely connected to its setting, the home opens naturally to the outdoors, whether you’re lingering with coffee on the deck, unwinding in the hot tub, or gathering with friends as the scenery shifts with the light. A private mooring and included tidelands make it effortless to slip into island days of boating, crabbing, fishing, and kayaking right from your doorstep. With Samish Island’s quiet coastal charm and relaxed pace, life here feels both peaceful and wonderfully elemental.

Set on over 1.5 acres in Redmond, this long-held property is being offered for the first time in more than 30 years—an estate-like retreat shaped by decades of careful stewardship. Lovingly cared for, thoughtfully improved, and meticulously maintained, it balances true move-in readiness with the warmth and character that only time can impart. The approach sets the tone: a driveway arrival, a charming exterior, and a welcoming wraparound porch that invites slow mornings and unhurried evenings. Mature trees and established landscaping frame peaceful, private grounds, with generous outdoor spaces that leave room for gardening, entertaining, recreation, or simply taking in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. It’s a setting that feels like a private escape, yet remains only minutes from the everyday ease and energy of Redmond.
