Island oasis hits Washington real estate market for $10.3M

A waterside estate that sits peacefully on two acres of Blakely Island, Washington, has come onto the real estate market for $10.3 million.

The compound is composed of four buildings, according to the listing on Realtor.com. That includes the main two-bedroom, two-bathroom house, a carriage house with a massive wine cellar, a 350-square-foot office and a beach house.

Elegance seems to drip from every nook of each building featured in the photos, which matches the listing’s promise of the estate satisfying “the most refined tastes.”

The seclusion is perfect for those who are looking to get away — but not far enough away that they, and out-of-town guests, can’t take in city life. Seattle is only about 69 miles southeast of the island.

However, there is “no public access or ferry service to Blakely Island,” meaning potential buyers would need to travel to the mainland using their own boat or private aircraft, as noted by Seattle Pacific University.

The property also comes with “291 feet of low-bank waterfront,” and is adjacent to a tarmac and hangar. It also comes with three utility vehicles, the listing boasts.

Properties on private islands have been popping up all over the real estate world in the country, including this luxurious home in Minnesota, or even this entire island (complete with a pier) in Michigan, McClatchy News reported.
