Lord Byron could have been inspired
to write this famous quote in this magical place.
|
"There is a pleasure
in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but nature more".

This
magnificent oceanfront estate, is truly a 'Point' of
land reaching out into Baynes Channel offering over
2.5 acres with 360 degree views of the San Juan Islands
and Olympic Mountains. This is undoubtedly one of the
finest pieces of waterfront available in the Pacific
Northwest. The incredibly unique, exotic and spiritual
residence is a masterpiece of natural stones, wood,
oak and glass -- perfectly situated on the property
as if it asked permission to be there.
The
home was built to honor works of art, massive sculptures,
amazing collectibles and paintings. The owner had a
vision to create a home for many to celebrate and contemplate
the world and how it should be. The home seems to float
above the water and draws the natural world of the raw
west coast great outdoors, into the glorious living
room of amazing proportions.
The entry foyer holds an impressive stately statue
celebrating the rebirth of mankind, creating an ethereal
quality in the atmosphere of the home. The sleeping
quarters and kitchen/ dining areas stem off the center
foyer room, creating an ideal plan for entertaining.
The warmth of the radiant heat, the glass walls and
the dramatic architecture all combine to welcome you
into a magical setting to enjoy the never ending sea
changes at your feet. A most sophisticated lighting
system enhances the home, as well as automatic blinds
on all windows to protect the art from the sun.
The
property is comprised of two separate legals and has
separate carriage house with caretaker suite on one
of the lots. The carriage house contrasts the main residence
with a traditional style of architecture.
The landscaping is carefully planned to suit the seasons
and many locations are available to sit and enjoy the
vistas or the private beach. Kayaking and fishing are
available at your doorstep,
The property is located within 15 minutes of the Inner
Harbour and one half hour to the airport and ferries.
