About 5837 Ambleside Loop
A Legacy Estate in the Making. This rare 65.5-acre private waterfront estate on Guemes Island (the quiet southern gateway to the San Juan Islands) offers 1,664 feet of shoreline & sweeping northern views across Padilla Bay to Bellingham, Mount Baker, the Cascade Mountains & beyond, all the way to Canada. Imagine your personal "state park” or a true village. Beyond the existing home, 5 approved 1-acre waterfront homesites are fully prepared for construction, each with power, utilities, & its own designated well already in place. A conceptual master plan and architectural drawings (including barn) provide a ready blueprint for multi-generational living. At the center is a beautifully reimagined 2,068 sq. ft. home (3 bed, 1.75 bath) featuring vaulted ceilings, large stone fireplace, cozy family room off the kitchen with a wood-burning stove, reclaimed wood flooring & walls of glass that seamlessly frame the water. The remaining nearly 60 acres is comprised of protected seasonal stream and bluff easements, & more than 26 acres of woods, pasture, & trails awaiting your orchards, horses, or peaceful morning walks to the beach. Clamming, crabbing & fishing are at your doorstep, with community beach access for all homes. Whether envisioned as a multi-generational compound, personal secluded haven, or private corporate retreat, the entire property sits behind a single gated entry—just a five-minute ferry ride from Anacortes. Seven parcels. One extraordinary canvas.
