Welcome to the Gold Coast "” one of the most coveted and rarely available addresses on Orcas Island. Situated on Pole Pass, this southwest-facing shoreline sits outside the shadow of the island's interior ridgelines, capturing sunlight from morning through sunset, every season of the year. Properties here almost never come to market. This is one of the few original early 1900s cottages still standing on the island "” warm, cozy, and full of quiet character. The cottage sits on a small bluff with +/-175' of private shoreline below, reached by your own steps down to a secluded cove. Just offshore, your private mooring buoy awaits, and a 20-foot mooring at the Crane Island dock is just a few minute's stroll away. The property carries a piece of island history: legend holds that this cottage served as the base camp for the survey and mapping of the island over 125 years ago, and a carving marking the geographical coordinates and date "” still largely legible "” remains on a cypress tree on the property. The setting is as peaceful as it is private "” a dead-end road with almost no traffic and a landscape that simply asks you to slow down. A charming bunkhouse is tucked on the property as well, a welcome bonus for when guests arrive. If you've been searching for a true island experience "” a simpler, more intentional way of living "” this is the quintessential Orcas Island beach cottage.
