Waterfront Home on Sinclair Island

Sun, Sand & San Juans: The Waterfront Wonder You Didn’t Know You Needed

Ready to level up your lifestyle? This west-facing, sandy-beach-front beauty isn’t just a home—it’s a front-row seat to daily sunsets, salty breezes, and island magic. Sitting pretty on 1.15 acres (with tide lands and three mooring buoys, because one is never enough), this 3-bed, 2-bath gem was built in 2012 and knows how to make an entrance.

Step inside 1,616 square feet of vaulted-ceiling goodness, complete with rich wood floors, granite countertops, and a select pine interior that practically smells like calm. Sunshine pours in, and three sets of French doors practically beg you to walk out to the oversized deck and toast the view—which, by the way, stretches across the sound to Orcas and the rest of the San Juan crew.

Hosting guests? Toss them the keys to the 700 sq ft barn-turned-guest-suite, featuring 1 bed, 1 bath, and a kitchen so they can fend for themselves (bless).
Feeling ambitious? Good news: the sale includes a second tax lot—go wild and build another home (or a very elaborate chicken coop).

And because this is the San Juans, this place is ready for anything—solar power, propane heat, wood stoves, two private wells and a shared one, just in case you’re really thirsty.

Bottom line: it’s part retreat, part playground, and entirely awesome. Bring your sunglasses and your kayak. This one's got it all.

Just a typical day on the island. Come catch a vibe 🤘

Salt air, cedar forests, and tides that set the pace. Life here is simple. Trade the hum of traffic for the call of a bald eagle. Kayak alongside orcas, gather oysters fresh from the beach, and warm your hands by a driftwood fire.

No rush. No fuss. Just island time.

Welcome to the edge of the map — where life feels real.
