"Yeah, this is definitely a special property. It's very rare to find five acres on the water in the Pacific Northwest,” said Amy McFarland, of Compass Real Estate, the real estate agent listing Miller Bay Estate, with help from broker Sean Crawford.
Two hundred and forty feet of beach, a dock and seven separate structures aren't the only things that make this property on Poulsbo's Miller Bay rare. This waterfront estate comes with a custom treehouse that sleeps four.
“You really have to have feet on the ground walking through the property, smelling the flowers and enjoying all of the different unique views and landscaping to fully get what makes this place so special," McFarland said.
There are the usual luxury home features – a massive main house with a wine cellar, artist's studio in a separate building, helipad - for when the yacht's not running.
But like the plaque placed under an eagle sculpture says, this is also a place built to please 'Generations of Loved Ones,' with some sweet extras like a fully functioning ice cream parlor, built for the previous occupant’s grandchildren.
There's a log house that looks like it belongs on the set of "Yellowstone."
"So, this is the bunkhouse, custom log cabin with 10 identical queen size beds, eight down low and two up top." McFarland said.
And this lofty spot straight out of a Harry Potter book is "The Owl House" - a treehouse that looks like an owl - look closely, the windows are its eyes, and the door's the beak. Even the boards on the deck are shaped like feathers.
"There's just so many thoughtful details throughout the owl house, even the inlay compass on the floor, everything is custom,” McFarland said.
Guests who don't want to sleep at Douglas fir level can opt for the waterfront guest house with views of both the Seattle skyline and Mount Rainier. This private getaway is only an hour from the city - less if you use that helipad. But with its parklike setting - and those outrageously fun outbuildings, it feels like a world away.
"There's a magic about this place that feels like you could be somewhere else and you're just kind of your own paradise," McFarland said.
