This unique property is on 1.15 acres and has 165 feet of waterfront. Located on Vashon Island, in King County near Seattle, Washington State. Vashon Island is one of the safest locations in the state as it is only accessible by ferry or by air (Vashon Airport is located 2 minutes away from the home). Many residents do not even lock the doors to their homes. State-run ferries depart from 3 locations for Vashon Island; West Seattle (Fauntleroy), Southworth (near Port Orchard) and Point Defiance (Tacoma).  There is also a high-speed passenger ferry that runs from Vashon Island directly to downtown Seattle. The North End  Vashon ferry dock is a 10 minute drive from this home.  King County Transit operates buses up and down the island daily as well as to downtown Seattle. Numerous hiking trails are walking distance from the house.   There are miles and miles of more hiking trails and parks a few minutes drive away that are managed by King County, usable year-round.  High speed, fiber-optic cabled wifi is available at the home.  Water is provided by a King County-certified spring system. This property is nearly self-sufficient with an organic garden, an oyster farm on the beach along with abundant crab and clams. Productive organic apple trees line Gorsuch Creek on the south property border.  A standby-generator fueled by a large 500 gallon propane tank can power the entire home off the grid for over a month.  The home is heated by four sources:  A German-made Buderus propane furnace that provides radiant heat, a pellet stove, electric wall heat and a wood-burning stove.

 

A 600 sq ft two-room guest apartment sets above the garage on the opposite side of the house from the bedrooms, allowing privacy for the guests. The apartment has a full kitchen, its own bathroom and shower along with a separate entrance from its own deck that wraps around to the main deck

​

New construction on Vashon Island requires a 200 ft setback from the water, so this property is very unique!
