THE ESTATE STORY:
BUILT OVER GENERATIONS
What makes this estate unlike anything currently available in the Pacific Northwest is not just its scale — it is its narrative. This compound did not spring from a single architect's vision or a developer's investment thesis. It grew the way the best estates do: organically, intentionally, and over time.
The story began in the early 1990s when the owners of the estate — acquired land on the eastern shore of San Juan Island on Griffin Bay. They built their first residence and fell in love with the island. As the family grew, so did the estate. A second house followed, then a third. Cottages were added for guests and extended family. A bunkhouse was designed for the next generation. A game house, a greenhouse, gardens, ponds, courts — each addition was a deliberate choice, not a spec sheet. The estate reached its present form in 2017 when the final main residences were completed by builder Schultz Miller to a standard rarely seen outside of the world's most prestigious resort communities.
The property encompasses four separate tax parcels — a detail that speaks to its layered history and adds a dimension of flexibility unique among estates of this magnitude.
