An Orcas Island THREE HOME ESTATE/Retreat for Family and Friends
This stunning Orcas Island retreat/compound, designed by Architect Jerry Garcia, who is currently employed with one of the top 5 architectural firms in the country, Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen. This is a private compound on over 20 acres, the main house is one of Mr. Garcia's architectural masterpieces, built to perfection in an ideal setting that is private yet conveniently located between the ferry landing and the village of Eastsound. Creatively positioned amongst 20 forested acres, this three bedroom, two bath home provides an innovative modernist aesthetic. Includes a guest house and a caretaker's residence in addition to the main house, a custom hot tub, and a covered pavilion complete the compound. Unique and original materials abound from the stone structural base to recycled glass-concrete countertops and reconstructed salvaged doors. Emphasis has been placed on sustainability, energy efficiency, and nontoxic materials. Photos below:
Solar panels are placed and designed as art form. A one bedroom/one bath with loft guesthouse sits adjacent to the main house. Mature landscaping and garden paths create privacy between the buildings. The caretaker's residence is one bedroom and one bathroom and located away from the main compound. Caretakers are interested in staying on for new owners.
The home is VERY private, with 20 acres, and mountain views that go on for miles(!) with only one other house in a 360 degree view. It includes an architecturally unique guest house (co-designed by Monte Antrim, Jerry Garcia's co-designer on the main house). The caretaker "cabin" is a unique, finely crafted octagonal structure that is rustic, but artful.
The home also includes a yoga pagoda, a custom tiled hot tub, and three garden areas.
Located in the Mt. Woolard area of Orcas Island
The guest house was co-designed by Monte Antrim (who helped with the main house) and Brad Sweek (founder of Flux lights).
