Governors Point is a new enclave of 16 waterfront homes which will be designed by Omer Arbel. Just off Chuckanut Drive south of Bellingham, WA, the project sits on a pristine peninsula jutting into the Salish Sea. All homes will share a rigorous architectural language, which extends throughout the project, including private roads, gates, and other infrastructure. Buffered by a 100-acre nature reserve, the homes enjoy a grandfathered 75' saltwater setback and vistas overlooking the San Juan Islands. Each dwelling, on a +/- 1 acre lot, will be personalized by discerning buyers who appreciate ambitious design in intimate harmony with nature. San Juan Island lifestyle without the hassle of the ferry system.
