In Coastal Washington, a Newly Listed Clifftop Home Takes the Log Cabin to New Heights

The home, made of pine logs, is located in the San Juan Islands about 100 miles from Seattle

On Washington state’s Orcas Island, a lavish log cabin—a trio of words not often combined—has come to the market for $4.5 million. 

The pine log home stands on a massive rock formation on almost 16 acres of wooded land, resulting in a sprawling and secluded forest estate with views across the surrounding islands.

Orcas Island is the largest of the San Juan Islands in the far Pacific Northwest, and this home is situated roughly 100 miles northwest of Seattle and about the same distance south of Vancouver, Canada.

Built in 2000, the three-bedroom home, in Eastsound, has been “crafted with artistic flair and meticulous detail,” according to the listing with agents Marty Zier and Deborah Hansen of Compass, who brought the property to the market earlier this week.

“We enter this peaceful estate and pause at the stunning west view of Rosario Strait and the San Juan Islands, as seen from the massive living room,” Mr. Zier told Mansion Global over email. “The kitchen and dining space go a different direction with an intimate atmosphere, custom stone work and creative touches.”

Exposed logs reign supreme across the interior of the home—honey-colored, white and tinged red—which spans more than 3,300 square feet. There’s also huge statement windows looking out over the water, warm cherry floors and a Montana-quarried stone arch. 

The home “has been meticulously maintained,” Ms. Hansen said. There’s a living room with towering cathedral ceilings, a mahogany wet bar and a custom kitchen. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite has a standalone tub, a walk-in shower and a private dressing room.

Outside, there are decks, gardens, ponds and “a stone pathway winding past the mature landscaping leads to the large studio office constructed [with] the same incredible detail and craftsmanship [as the main home],” Ms. Hansen added. 

The sellers, who Mansion Global couldn’t identify, bought the underlying land in 1998 for $305,000, listing records show.
