About this property

Welcome to Orcas Highlands! Near the top of the Highlands, this two-bedroom cottage is sited on a large, westerly-facing lot. It affords a view over East Sound all the way to the Canadian Gulf Islands, and with selective tree pruning could be even more expansive. Why You'll Love This Home: It offers peace and privacy although is just minutes away from the charming village of Eastsound. There's a private driveway with level access from Discovery Way that leads to a large attached garage with a work bench. There's also plenty of additional off-road parking. Outside, the house features a large deck, and metal roof. Inside, there are hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning stove perfect for chilly island evenings. Though all the main living areas are on one level, as a bonus, below the house with a separate, outside entry, there is a finished room for potential use as a workshop office or storage area. Nature lovers will benefit from being close to Moran State Park, Cascade Lake, and miles of scenic forested hiking trails. Orcas Highlands is one of the few developments on the island that has it all: Paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber optic internet cable embedded in the roads.
