Imagine owning a legacy property that actually helps preserve a delicate universe of marine wildlife. The SeaWatch Estate is the largest privately owned tideland parcel on the west side of Whidbey Island.It consists of two tax parcels comprising approximately twenty two acres of rare and beautiful, privately held, virtually pristine waterfront acres. At the extreme lowest low tide the sandy split extends out almost 2,000 feet. In between the uplands and the tidal parcel are the littoral shore lands, making this all in effect a single contiguous estate.The upper three acres where the house sits is a private, gated, fully fenced estate which boasts 365 feet of waterfront frontage at an average bluff height of 82 feet. It is located adjacent to Mutiny Bay on the Admiralty Inlet, in the southern part of the Salish Sea. It offers an ever changing canvas of activity as you watch cruise ships share the waterways with pods of Orcas, and passing cargo ships. The main house is sited on the bluff to take full advantage of the over 260 degree views.You can see the city of Edmonds, Mt. Rainier, the Seattle skyline, the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas with its snow-capped Olympic mountain range, all the way to the southern tips of the San Juan Islands. You'll experience year round sunrises over Mount Rainier and some of the most glorious sunsets you'll ever witness. At nighttime billions of stars and shimmering moon light reflect on the water, lulling you to sleep with the gentle breeze and sounds of the lapping waves and the call of its wildlife. Absolute paradise found.Above the three car garage, accessed by a covered, connecting breezeway is a 974 square foot guest studio complete with a mini kitchen which includes a sink, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, breakfast bar, and bath. The view deck and huge picture windows offer superior expansive views of the tidelands, waterway, its vessel traffic, the coastline and mountain range. It makes for an ideal conference location for as many as 20 or on the other hand a private guest facility for overnight or extended company, caretakers or in-laws. The Estate has hosted many events both large and small, private and public, social and fundraising events and is well known on the island.The private grounds are comprised of huge second growth fir and cedar trees, gardens and lawn opening up to the expansive views of the sea and the almost constant commercial shipping lane traffic. You'll see cargo ships, container ships, cruise ships, tugs, the Victoria Clipper, pleasure boats large and small on a daily basis with the addition of an occasional submarine and air craft carrier. Every vessel coming from the open sea through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, down Admiralty Inlet to South Sound is viewed from this magnificent property. You can even track each one through the many world-wide available AIS programs on your computer as you actually watch them pass by.
