800 Vashon Island

Some properties are nearly impossible to capture in words, and this is one of them. Set across 4.77 acres on two parcels, each with its own District 19 water share, this private retreat is moments from town yet feels worlds away. Layers of beautiful shade trees, lush grasses and flowers, heritage orchard plantings, more than 500 varieties of dahlias, irrigated raised beds, a greenhouse, seasonal pond and stream, and meandering flagstone pathways create a landscape that reveals something new in every season. At the center of it all is a solar-heated 24-by-44-foot saltwater pool, surrounded by gardens, tall firs, and multiple spaces for gathering, dining, and lounging. The home is equally suited to entertaining, with warm, character-rich interiors, fir floors, solid-wood millwork, exceptional built-in storage, and a custom kitchen designed for serious cooking, baking, and hosting. Carrara marble countertops, a nearly 10-foot maple butcher-block island, dual-fuel Wolf range and hood, and new appliances anchor the space. A passive-solar garden room adds flexibility and charm. Additional features include a 24-by-48-foot powered barn, chicken coop and run, animal outbuilding, fenced pasture, RV parking with power, owned solar, and conceptual plans for a two-bedroom barn/ADU. Meticulously cared for, thoughtfully updated, and rich with hard-to-find infrastructure, this is a singular lifestyle property unlike anything else on the market.
