Real Estate on Orcas Island ~

Real Estate on Orcas Island is as diverse as the people that live here.  Although it might surprise you, Orcas Island’s real estate includes working farms, large acreage, residential lots, hill top view sites and, of course, waterfront.  You will have a choice of considering existing homes or unimproved properties, convenient to town or as far away as possible. You will want to consider if you want to be near your boat, the schools or fresh coffee in town on Saturday morning. If you are an investor or want to run a small business, we do have commercial properties centered mainly in Eastsound Village.

All real property transactions have a 1% buyer side tax that goes to the San Juan County Land Bank. The Land Bank’s mandate is “To preserve in perpetuity areas in the county that have environmental, agricultural, aesthetic, cultural, scientific, historic, scenic or low-intensity recreational value and to protect existing and future sources of potable water.”

Owning Property on Orcas Island grants you ownership on a truly amazing island.

We have a wide range of prices and are remarkable price competitive to west coast metropolitan areas. It really does not cost more to live in one of the safest, most amazing destinations in the world.
