FIRST IMPRESSION

Some luxury homes try to impress with gates and grand entrances.

This one lets the landscape do the talking.

Perched high above the Strait between Port Angeles and Sequim, the home emerges from a backdrop of towering evergreens and lush greenery. The setting feels secluded, quiet, and worlds away from city life.

The architecture adds to the storybook atmosphere.

With its brown shingle exterior, white trim, arched windows, and forested surroundings, the home looks almost like something pulled from the pages of a fairy tale.

Then there’s the view. From the blufftop perch, snow-capped Olympic peaks rise in the distance while the Strait stretches toward the horizon.

INSIDE THE HOME

The home was clearly designed to make the scenery part of everyday life.

Large windows pull in natural light and frame views of the water, mountains, and surrounding landscape from room after room.

Hardwood floors run throughout much of the residence, helping create a warm, Pacific Northwest feel.

The kitchen is spacious and bright, featuring stainless steel appliances and plenty of room for gathering. A deck just outside offers the kind of morning coffee view that would be difficult to get tired of.

Elsewhere, the home balances comfort and flexibility.

A bonus room could function as a media lounge, home gym, studio, or recreation space, while a cozy office nook with water views makes remote work feel a little less like work.

One of the more memorable touches is found in the bedrooms, where loft spaces accessed by ladder add a playful, cabin-like feel to the home.

And after a long day outdoors? There’s a private sauna waiting inside.

THE WOW FACTOR

  • 10-acre blufftop estate
  • Private trail leading to the beach below
  • Covered hot tub overlooking the water
  • Outdoor surf shower
  • Private sauna
  • Sweeping Strait of Juan de Fuca views
  • Multiple view decks and patios
  • Pond and park-like grounds
  • Covered recreational pavilion
  • Skateboard half-pipe
  • Potential future development opportunity on the second 5-acre parcel (buyer to verify)

PUTTING THE PRICE IN PERSPECTIVE

A $2.56 million asking price puts this home in a different category than most properties in Port Angeles.

The city’s median owner-occupied home value is roughly $365,000, while median household income sits around $68,000. At that income level, it would take decades of earnings to match the home’s asking price.

But buyers at this level aren’t simply paying for square footage. They’re paying for something far harder to find: 10 private acres above the Strait of Juan de Fuca, direct beach access, mountain views, and a setting that feels completely removed from the outside world.

FINAL TAKE

Some homes impress with size. Others impress with amenities.

This one feels more like a retreat.

Imagine starting the day with coffee overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, spending the afternoon on a private beach reached by your own trail, and ending the evening in a hot tub beneath towering evergreens as the sun disappears behind the water.

It’s the kind of property that makes the outside world feel very far away.
