ハースティン島の人里離れたビーチサイドホーム

I live in Seattle with my wife, Kristin and have for over 30 years. I grew up not far from the beach house in Shelton and graduated from Shelton High School in 1983. I moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington in 1983 but found that I missed the water, mountains and forests of Mason County. Having a small house on salt water had been my dream for many years, a place to bring my kids, my friends and extended family to get away from the city. My dream came true in 2008 while living overseas with my family in Italy.

With the help of my father who had a career in the local real estate industry he located this property and called me in Italy to tell me he found a property that met all of our criteria: clean beach, view of the mountains and at least an acre of property with big trees. My dad sent me photos of the property via email and after a few frantic late night phone calls I gave him my permission to make an offer on the property. The next day I received a phone call that the offer had been accepted! It would be 8 months until I would set foot on the property with my family after moving back to the USA.

It was a nerve-wracking drive from Seattle, wondering what we had just invested our life savings on, but when we turned into the driveway for the first time, words could not describe the joy and surprise we all felt. The house immediately felt like home.

The property has a perfect blend of amazing water and mountain views, surrounded by large Douglas fir, cedar and Madrona trees, animals of the forest, sea and air, all in a very rural setting with occasional waves from neighbors while walking on the quiet rural roads.

The beach is just steps away from the house and is very inviting for long walks, beach combing or just listening to the sounds of nature. You have a front row seat in the cozy living room for storms rolling in from the southwest and on sunny days, the west facing deck is great for relaxing with friends and family and watching stunning sunsets.
