A bespoke coastal estate where extraordinary craftsmanship meets one of Camano Island's most coveted waterfront settings.

The Story

At the coveted north tip of Camano Island, where the shoreline meets the calm waters of Utsalady Bay, this extraordinary custom estate rests on nearly half an acre of true no-bank, walk-out waterfront—one of the largest beachfront parcels on the bay.

Unlike most waterfront homes, which sit just steps from the road, this residence is thoughtfully positioned deep within the property, creating a level of privacy rarely found along the shoreline. Mature evergreens and natural landscaping create a quiet, estate-like arrival, while the expansive front grounds provide ample room for a future gated entrance if desired. Here, you'll enjoy the rare combination of privacy, space, and beachfront living—all just minutes to I-5 and an easy drive to the Eastside, with no ferry required.

Here, life unfolds with the tide.

Step from the Great Room directly onto the beach. Launch a paddleboard at sunrise. Welcome friends who arrive by boat and tie off along your private shoreline. Drop a crab pot just offshore, harvest oysters and mussels from the beach, watch eagles soar overhead, and enjoy whales passing in the distance. As the tide rises, the bay stretches to the seawall, creating the remarkable feeling of living directly on the water. Evenings conclude with spectacular sunsets reflecting across the bay—an unforgettable backdrop to everyday life.

Architecturally designed and built without compromise, this is a residence where no detail was considered too small. Every finish, fixture, material, and piece of hardware was selected with the same level of intention found in the world's finest custom homes. From the substantial French Oak flooring and furniture-quality mahogany cabinetry to the custom cold-rolled steel feature wall, premium plumbing fixtures, architectural hardware, and solid-core doors, the quality extends far beyond what is immediately seen—it is experienced in every room and every touchpoint.

Twelve-foot ceilings anchor the main living spaces, while a spectacular 28-foot-wide disappearing Fleetwood glass wall completely erases the boundary between the Great Room and the waterfront deck. Opened fully, the home transforms into a covered waterfront pavilion where indoor and outdoor living become one. Closed, the expansive wall of glass continues to frame uninterrupted panoramic views stretching across the sound toward the San Juan Islands and north to Canada.

A sculptural open-metal staircase serves as an architectural centerpiece upon entry. Clean-lined steel framing is paired with substantial solid wood treads, precisely matched to the French Oak flooring, creating a seamless transition between levels and reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship carried throughout the home.

The chef's kitchen is understated yet exceptional—designed as beautifully as it performs. Furniture-quality custom mahogany cabinetry, honed marble countertops, a full marble backsplash, hammered nickel farmhouse sink, premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and an expansive walk-in pantry create a space equally suited for intimate evenings or large-scale entertaining. The professional Wolf gas range is powered by natural gas—a remarkable distinction, as this is the only street on Camano Island with natural gas service.

Privately positioned on the main level, the primary suite was designed as a peaceful waterfront retreat. Fourteen-foot ceilings enhance the sense of space, while a 9-foot Fleetwood glass wall opens directly to the waterfront deck, offering immediate access to the shoreline beyond. The spa-inspired bath features heated floors, a limestone slipper soaking tub, hammered nickel sinks, and refined finishes that create a quiet sense of luxury.

Also on the main level, a spacious executive office overlooking the water is positioned beside a full bathroom with shower and was intentionally designed to accommodate a future private ADU-style suite or multigenerational living arrangement. A separate bonus or exercise room provides additional flexibility while maintaining the home's cohesive architectural design.

Upstairs, a generous loft offers another inviting gathering space. Two oversized bedrooms with walk-in closets each enjoy beautiful water views and share a spacious bathroom featuring dual vanities, custom cabinetry, and the same exceptional level of finish found throughout the home—ensuring family and guests experience the same standard of comfort and luxury.

Built for longevity as much as beauty, the residence features a standing-seam metal roof, Brazilian Walnut (IPE) decking, a custom-designed IPE and stainless-steel fence, marine-grade exterior materials, and infrastructure selected specifically for the coastal environment. The home also benefits from approximately $1,000 per year in unlimited water usage, including irrigation, supporting the beautifully maintained grounds and irrigated cut-flower garden.

The 15-foot ceiling garage accommodates a vehicle lift, indoor boat storage, RV parking, or an exceptional collector-car space. Along the shoreline, private bulkhead tie-offs provide the convenience of mooring your boat directly in front of the home—allowing you to leave for an afternoon cruise through Deception Pass, the San Juan Islands, or even Victoria, British Columbia, directly from your own beachfront.

With no HOA restrictions, allowable short-term rental flexibility, one of the largest waterfront parcels on Utsalady Bay, and an estimated reproduction cost exceeding $6 million at today's land and construction values, this is far more than an extraordinary home—it is an opportunity to own something that simply cannot be recreated.

Some homes are measured by their square footage. Others by their views.

This one is defined by its rarity, its craftsmanship, and the life it was designed to inspire.
