This amazing dynamic property offers breathtaking panoramic views, a very unique custom built home, equally unique studio space at the water, private dock, a garage/shop with private guest space above and a productive greenhouse with stone wall that acts as a heat sink to extend the growing season. The diverse 3.6 acre property offers distinct mini climate areas with very distinct flora such as: Arbutus, huge Manzanita, Pine, Juniper, Cedar, Fir, Hemlock and more! The unique custom built home is filled with artistic features including a spiral staircase that incorporates an Arbutus tree into the design. The main living area is on the second floor and includes an open floor plan with living, dining and kitchen area plus a cozy den with custom fireplace. The bathroom and bedrooms are on the lower floor and artist studio spaces and root cellar are built around the rocks below the home. The home is mainly built from found and recycled materials and takes advantage of the solar gain and is oriented to enjoy the stunning views. The home is perched high on a rock bluff so you can watch the eagles soar below! There is a flat roof on the top level that offers another view perspective. From atop a rocky pinnacle on the property behind the home you can gaze as far as the eye can see in all directions. The views truly take your breath away! For those who like to watch some action you can look down into Cortes Bay which is a popular boaters anchorage in the summer. There is a good licensed dock that is accessible via a lovely path down the hillside through a grove of huge Manzanita bushes, Jack Pine and Juniper. There is power to the dock. Just above the water is another unique building. This round studio space features lots of windows and a private deck overlooking the water and the bay. The studio has power and water and could be an artist studio or nice guest space.

This special property is for someone who appreciates the natural beauty of the red granite rock bluffs in the Cortes Bay area. For someone looking for a unique home with lots of character and ‘green’ features this is well worth considering. There is a lovely little guest room above the garage shop and the property has a productive little garden plus landscaped areas and a solid greenhouse. There is a hot tub tucked into the rock bluff and a very private deck off the main living area…. There are too many special features to mention! Call today to arrange a private viewing.
