778 Cady Mountain Road

Perched near the summit of Cady Mountain, this custom mountain lodge is graced with beautiful views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains. A private, meandering mountain road leads to a grand entry set among moss-draped boulders and ancient old-growth trees, the island's natural topography preserved in all its quiet majesty. Within, solid wood doors and trim, rich wood ceiling accents, built-in benches, and earth-tone elements lend warmth and timeless character, while a striking indoor/outdoor fireplace glows for both the great room and the deck. Propane-fueled radiant wall heat keeps every season cozy. Upstairs, the loft-style primary retreat overlooks the living area below, its French doors and bright skylights making it feel like sleeping in the forest. Downstairs, the bath indulges with a large soaking tub and towel warmer. Three bedrooms and two baths in all, in a truly private setting. Crowned by an enduring metal roof, the home opens to generous decks and an outdoor fire pit made for fireside evenings and stargazing beneath a canopy of stars, free of light pollution. The detached garage is ideal for a small island vehicle, mountain bikes, and kayaks. Foxes, owls, and ravens are your neighbors here. Moments from Mount Grant Preserve and a wealth of public parks and trails, with Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor a short drive away. A one-of-a-kind sanctuary, whether as a full-time residence or a cherished island retreat.
