Private Luxury 4 Bedroom Estate on 4 Acres with over 1,100 feet of shoreline!

TERRA MARE | An Extraordinary Private Waterfront Estate on Orcas Island

A Rare Opportunity. A Remarkable Estate. A Year Like No Other.

There are beautiful homes on Orcas Island, and then there is Terra Mare.

Privately set along more than 1,000 feet of high-bank waterfront, Terra Mare (Where the land meets the sea!) is an extraordinary architectural estate overlooking the shimmering waters of East Sound. With sweeping views toward Moran State Park, the surrounding Cascade mountains, Rosario Resort, and the twinkling lights of Eastsound Village, this remarkable property offers a level of privacy, natural beauty, and architectural distinction rarely found in a vacation rental. NOTE: photos are virtually staged. Brand new furniture going in now and photos will be updated as soon as possible.

Built with love, craftsmanship, and an uncompromising vision, Terra Mare is a legacy property that has never before been offered for rent. Now, for a limited time (one year only), an exceptional opportunity awaits a select few guests to experience this remarkable private sanctuary.

Here, the land meets the sea. The pace slows. The views seem endless. And the ordinary gives way to something extraordinary.

Welcome to Terra Mare.

An Architectural Masterpiece

At the heart of Terra Mare is a magnificent custom timber-frame residence that celebrates the beauty of natural materials and the artistry of exceptional craftsmanship.

Designed around an extraordinary cathedral-like Great Room, the home features a complex timber structure crafted from mountain-grown Douglas fir by the renowned Hamill Creek Timberwrights of British Columbia. Signature curved timbers and an exceptional hammer-beam bent design create a breathtaking architectural centerpiece, with soaring vaulted ceilings rising more than 32 feet above the Great Room.

The result is a space that feels simultaneously grand and inviting. Massive timber elements frame the interior, while the open-concept design allows the living spaces to flow naturally without obstructing center posts. The architecture draws the eye upward, while expansive windows bring the surrounding landscape into the experience of the home.

Rich materials, thoughtful details, and high-end finishes carry throughout the residence. Brazilian cherrywood, a striking spiral staircase, a durable metal roof, and two wood-burning fireplaces contribute to the home's distinctive character.

This is not a conventional luxury home. It is a thoughtfully crafted architectural retreat where the structure itself becomes part of the experience.

Extraordinary Views. Remarkable Privacy.

The setting is every bit as compelling as the architecture.

Terra Mare occupies a secluded stretch of high-bank waterfront with more than 1,000 feet of shoreline, surrounded by mature evergreens, vibrant Pacific Northwest madronas, and the quiet beauty of the San Juan Islands.

From the home and its expansive outdoor deck, the landscape unfolds in a spectacular panorama across East Sound toward the mountains and forested slopes.

Every part of the day brings a different perspective.

Mornings arrive with soft coastal light and tranquil water views. Afternoons invite you to linger on the deck, take in the mountain scenery, or simply enjoy the stillness of your surroundings. As the sun fades, the Sound becomes a canvas of changing colors, distant lights, and reflections across the water.

The surrounding forest is alive with the rhythms of the Pacific Northwest. Eagles soar overhead, owls call from the trees, and passing whales may be seen moving through the surrounding waters.

Despite the remarkable sense of seclusion, the home remains within easy reach (15 minute drive) of Eastsound's restaurants, shops, galleries, and island amenities. The estate is only 8 minutes from the ferry landing which also has the Orcas Hotel and Cafe.

Terra Mare offers the rare combination of expansive waterfront, dramatic views, and a private setting that feels worlds away.

Elegant Accommodations for Family and Friends

With four bedrooms and four bathrooms in the main residence, Terra Mare provides a welcoming retreat for families and groups who appreciate generous space, comfort, and privacy.

The sleeping accommodations include one king bed and three queen beds (With Trundles), creating a comfortable arrangement for guests to relax and recharge after days spent exploring the island.

The primary suite is a private sanctuary unto itself. A beautiful picture window with built-in bench seating frames the surrounding landscape, while a private fireplace adds warmth and intimacy. The spa-inspired en suite bathroom features a stunning shower with a view, transforming an everyday ritual into a moment of quiet indulgence.

Throughout the home, the atmosphere balances architectural grandeur with the comforts of a private residence. Gather around the fireplace, enjoy an unhurried breakfast overlooking the Sound, or spend an evening together beneath the magnificent timber-frame ceilings of the Great Room.

The open-plan living areas encourage conversation and connection, while the home's scale and layout allow everyone to find a quiet corner of their own.

Terra Mare is designed for guests who want to spend meaningful time together without sacrificing the comfort and privacy of a truly exceptional home.

More Than a Home: A Private Estate

Terra Mare's appeal extends beyond the main residence.

A detached, full timber-frame guest house is the 4th bedroom and features an impressive 18-foot loft above, along with its own kitchen and bathroom. This additional space offers flexibility for families who want privacy or an area for children to play.

Together, this additional structure give Terra Mare the character and possibilities of a private estate rather than a typical vacation home.

The grounds invite exploration. An expansive composite deck provides an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or evenings spent watching the changing light over the water. A meandering trail leads down toward the water's edge, offering a closer connection to the shoreline and the natural beauty that defines this extraordinary property.

Here, outdoor living is not an afterthought. It is central to the experience.

A Sanctuary for Every Season

Orcas Island has a particular magic that reveals itself to those who take the time to experience it.

In spring, the island awakens with fresh greenery, wildflowers, and luminous views across the Sound. Summer brings long days, opportunities for boating and kayaking, scenic drives, hiking, and evenings that seem to linger forever. Autumn offers dramatic skies, rich forest colors, and a quieter pace. Winter brings a special kind of solitude, with wood-burning fires, moody coastal light, and the pleasure of watching the weather move across the water from the comfort of an extraordinary home.

From Terra Mare, the natural world is always close.

Spend the morning exploring the trails and viewpoints of Moran State Park. Wander through Eastsound for local dining, coffee, galleries, and independent shops. Discover secluded island beaches, take a scenic drive along the coastline, or enjoy a day on the water. Return home to the privacy of the estate, where the expansive views and peaceful surroundings offer a welcome contrast to the day's adventures.

Or do nothing at all.

Read by the fire. Prepare a leisurely dinner. Watch the eagles. Follow the movement of the clouds over the mountains. Enjoy the rare luxury of uninterrupted time in a place that feels entirely your own.
