View of the farm looking west from Bayview road.
This rare and beautiful 25-acre property has two houses, garage, barn and other outbuildings. The land is 2/3 wooded and 1/3 open. The forest is a mix of cedar, fir, alder and hemlock, and the whole property is fully accessible for your exploration and enjoyment via paths and trails. Beautiful territorial views include Lone Lake, hay fields and wooded hillsides.
Situated at the end of Xanadu Lane (which we also own), it is very private and quiet. It's a unique natural setting with fresh clean air, lots of light and abundant water.
It is less than a mile from Bayview Corner, an attractively restored retail complex featuring upscale groceries, a full service farm and garden store, restaurant and shops, and hosts the weekend farmers market. Another half mile brings you to two more restaurants, hardware store, supermarket, lumber yard, and more.
Nearby Lone lake offers fresh water boating and fishing, and it’s just 3 ½ miles down the road to the town of Langley, with it’s fishing pier, boat launch and harbor.
Downtown Seattle and the SeaTac airport are just an hour and a half away. The Whidbey SeaTac shuttle stops at Bayview and offers convenient transportation to and from the airport.
There is sufficient cleared acreage for a potential vineyard, expanded orchard and expanded garden area. There are several beautiful cleared building sites.
The main house -- two bedrooms and one bath, plus office -- is 1,200 square feet. Originally built in 1929, it has been entirely upgraded with a lifetime metal roof, new insulation and wiring, Milgard double-paned windows, propane forced-air and electric heating, etc. For winter heating we use the wood stove exclusively, because firewood is plentiful on the land.
The guest cottage/rental (newly remodeled), about 1,000 sf, was built in 1996. It is laid out as an "L" shaped studio with a full bath.
There is a large garage/workshop, orchard, chicken house, lawn and garden area all within a fenced area.
In addition to the houses there is a 24'x36' garage/workshop, separately-fenced 20-tree orchard, chicken house, lawn and garden area, all within a securely fenced (dog-proof) 2-acre enclosure. There is also a large adjacent public parking area and turnaround just outside this compound.
For the animals, there is a new 24/48 foot pole barn plus two field-fenced pastures, additional electric fencing, shelters and enclosures suitable for a variety of livestock including horses, sheep, llamas, alpacas and goats.
Properties of this size and beauty are very rare on Whidbey Island. This combination of natural beauty, residential amenities and animal-keeping infrastructure is unique.
