A different kind of Orcas Island experience. Set atop a sunny, elevated knoll near Obstruction Pass, this 2.78-acre retreat spans two tax parcels and captures expansive water views and open sky in a peaceful, park-like setting. Thoughtfully arranged for off-grid living, the property offers immediate use while you plan ahead. A well-kept yurt and newer platform tent—with a generous deck for outdoor living—create a comfortable base camp. Water is connected and pumped via a small solar array, with a line run to a sink at the tent for everyday use. A charming outhouse is positioned to take in sweeping views of Mount Baker and is outfitted for a future composting toilet and wash station. Trails and a partially developed road lead to a potential building site, offering a natural transition from retreat to long-term vision. Located near public beaches, Obstruction Pass State Park, and the county dock at Lieberhaven, with easy access to Buck Bay Shellfish, the Orcas Store, and Olga Artworks. For those drawn to simplicity, creativity, and time outdoors, this is a special opportunity to live lightly and experience Orcas in a more elemental way.
