Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Introducing the Chuckanut Beach Cabin. Sixty-five feet of unobstructed saltwater frontage with tidelands and a secluded beach that few lots in the region can claim. The views are panoramic and cinematic: islands layered on the horizon, ship traffic moving through the bay, Dot Island front and center, sunsets that linger, eagles working the shoreline, and the occasional whale. The kind of setting that does not need to announce itself. The existing one-bedroom cabin is quietly charming—rustic, intimate, and full of character. Vaulted ceilings, a generous sun deck, a level private yard, an outdoor brick barbecue, and room to garden. It is the sort of place that invites slow mornings and unhurried evenings by the water. What makes the offering truly distinctive, however, is the blank canvas beneath it. Upgraded septic system and city water are already in place, clearing the path to reimagine and build a refined residence that fully claims the rare, unobstructed waterfront. Few saltwater-front lots of this quality remain on this stretch of Chuckanut Drive. Whether held as a primary home, a second residence, a strategic rental, or simply the site of the house you have always intended to build, this is a property that rewards vision. Perfect setting. Private beach. Uncompromised views. The rest is yours to compose. Please respect neighbors private property and do not tresspass. Parking is on the east side of Chuckanut Dr in the designated pull off space.
