In the center of Washington’s San Juan archipelago, Bell Island offers exquisite natural beauty surrounded by the calm tidal waters of Puget Sound. This idyllic 4.5-acre island allows for amazing views in all directions, from sunrise to sunset. The solitude is sublime, while still offering easy access for friends and family to gather. Local island villages, plus cities such as Seattle and Vancouver, are all within close reach. The journey to the island is part of the experience, with transport available by private boat and aircraft or the Washington State Ferry. The ferry is minutes away on Orcas Island, where you’ll also find many services that add to the convenience of life on Bell Island.
The 4,000-square-foot cedar log post-and-beam frame house has an open-plan layout that is enhanced by a dramatic central stone fireplace spanning three floors. The main floor has a great room, office, game area, dining room, kitchen, large outdoor decks and a covered porch with dining space—ideal for entertaining, with stunning views inside and out. The upper loft floor features the master suite and a second office, while the lower floor adds a guest/family suite with kitchenette, studio and media room. Each level contains spacious bathrooms with handcrafted tiles. A stone guest cottage is perched on the island’s northern point. The property also has a 600-square-foot shop, pump house and dock. Two boats are included: a 24-foot EagleCraft and 22-foot Sea Sport, both set up for fishing and cruising.
Outdoor activities abound at Bell Island, from kayaking and sailing to fishing right off the dock. Feasting on local seafood is always part of the island experience, with spot prawns, Dungeness crab, ling cod, halibut, salmon, oysters and clams found in the surrounding waters. Other highlights include occasional whales passing by, frequent seal sightings and abundant bird life, including bald eagles. The possibilities for creating memories are limitless on this island gem of the Pacific Northwest.
