A LEGACY WATERFRONT ESTATE Arrive through custom double gates, engraved with a pod of orcas, and begin the journey along a 600-foot private driveway framed by magnificent 12-foot cedar hedges. As the outside world disappears behind you, the Pacific suddenly reveals itself. Welcome to Orcas Play—a rare 1-acre, walk-on waterfront estate where exceptional craftsmanship, privacy and the extraordinary beauty of the West Coast converge. Set along approximately 240 feet of pristine Discovery Passage shoreline, this remarkable property commands sweeping ocean and Quadra Island views. Life here unfolds to the sounds of whales breathing offshore, eagles overhead, seabirds and marine life along the shore, and waves rolling gently as cruise ships glide through the passage at twilight. It is a setting that changes with every tide, season and sunset. The residence is an architectural expression of natural materials and enduring craftsmanship. Natural and clear cedar, heavy fir timbers, structural ironwork, premium metal roofing, concealed gutters and solid copper downspouts create a distinctive West Coast presence. Inside, hand-scraped Russian White Oak floors, soaring clear-cut cedar ceilings, custom solid-fir doors and expansive glazing establish a sophisticated sense of warmth and scale. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen combines beauty and performance with a 36” Wolf range, leathered granite, custom cabinetry and a substantial black-walnut island. The adjoining living space centres around a striking Brazilian black slate gas fireplace. Beyond, 16-foot sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening onto an expansive oceanside entertainment deck where the Pacific becomes the backdrop to every gathering. The primary suite is a private sanctuary overlooking the water. Its custom California Closet and extraordinary spa-inspired ensuite feature Brazilian black slate, heated floors, a waterfall shower, dual rain heads, freestanding soaker tub and custom live-edge maple details—a serene retreat designed for lingering. For family, friends or guests, Orcas Play offers remarkable flexibility. A completely self-contained guest wing within the main residence provides its own kitchen, dining and sitting areas, laundry, fireplace and luxurious ensuite. A separate private carriage house offers two ocean-view bedrooms, each with a luxury ensuite, a full kitchen, private deck and ocean-facing hot tub. These exceptional spaces provide the potential for private accommodation or a sophisticated income-producing component. Beyond the residence, the estate has been thoughtfully engineered for an exceptional coastal lifestyle. A 32-foot-wide driveway provides abundant parking and dedicated water, electrical and sewer hookups, with room for boats, RVs and recreational toys. Irrigation, engineered drainage, terraced stone retaining walls, a greenhouse/art studio and productive gardens complement the grounds. At the shoreline, substantial engineered protection meets the power of the Pacific, while behind it lies a spectacular custom sandy beach extending across the full oceanfront. Here, architecture gives way to nature, and every day offers the privilege of living at the water’s edge. Orcas Play is not simply a home—it is a private oceanfront experience, a remarkable legacy property where luxury, nature, privacy and craftsmanship come together in a way that is increasingly difficult to find.
