Renderings pending: property is vacant land

A canvas where nineteenth-century history meets contemporary vision.

The sellers meticulously designed all plans and positioning to build out this dream.

The Residence

Set high above the water to command uninterrupted views of Puget Sound and the Narrows Bridge beyond, the ready-to-build 6,200 sq ft primary residence is a study in quiet confidence (architecture that steps back so the horizon can step forward). A luxury pool and private pool house extend the living space outward, blurring the line between interior comfort and island air.

The Collector’s Pavilion

A 2,500 sq ft ready-to-build detached garage (oversized pass-through doors, soaring ceilings) stands ready for a collection worthy of the setting. This is not storage. It is a gallery for the machines you love.

The Post Office

At the heart of the property sits a piece of American history: from 1915 to 1932, the island’s post office, waiting to be reimagined. Boathouse. Salon. Private retreat. Its next purpose is unwritten: reserved for an owner who understands that the rarest luxury is a story no one else can tell.

Cedrona Cove

Below it all, low-bank access opens onto the warm, protected waters of Cedrona Cove: generations of summer afternoons, only beginning to write the next ones, with future dock and pier exploration options.

Hope Landing was never simply land. It is 19+ acres of inheritance, waiting for the next owner to carry forward.

Fox Island

Reached by a 1954 suspension bridge from the Gig Harbor peninsula, Fox Island sits apart from the pace of the mainland: a few thousand acres of fir forest and rocky shoreline in southern Puget Sound.

Seattle and Tacoma are close enough for a morning meeting, far enough that the island keeps its own weather, its own light, and a shoreline that still feels undiscovered.
