Description
A Legacy Estate in the Making. This rare 65.5-acre private waterfront estate on Guemes Island (the quiet southern gateway to the San Juan Islands) offers 1,664 feet of shoreline & sweeping northern views across Padilla Bay to Bellingham, Mount Baker, the Cascade Mountains & beyond, all the way to Canada. Imagine your personal "state park” or a true family village. Beyond the existing home, 5 approved 1-acre waterfront homesites are fully prepared for construction, each with power, utilities, & its own designated well already in place. A conceptual master plan and architectural drawings (including barn) provide a ready blueprint for multi-generational living. At the center is a beautifully reimagined 2,068 sq. ft. home (3 bed, 1.75 bath) featuring vaulted ceilings, large stone fireplace, cozy family room off the kitchen with a wood-burning stove, reclaimed wood flooring & walls of glass that seamlessly frame the water. The remaining nearly 60 acres is comprised of protected seasonal stream and bluff easements, & more than 26 acres of woods, pasture, & trails awaiting your orchards, horses, or peaceful morning walks to the beach. Clamming, crabbing & fishing are at your doorstep, with community beach access for all homes. Whether envisioned as a multi-generational compound, personal secluded haven, or private corporate retreat, the entire property sits behind a single gated entry—just a five-minute ferry ride from Anacortes. Seven parcels. One extraordinary canvas.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has served our son very well. He was very nervous to begin middle school and Mr. Harrington and Mr. Perkins have gone out of their way to shepherd the new kids into middle school. He is enjoying the extra stimulation and is excited about all things science and math. Robotics has been a wonderful part of his after-school extra curricular activities. We could not be more happy that our son attends here. We could not have asked for a better middle school environment for our son to learn in. Kudos to the teachers, coaches, counselors and leadership for this amazing school.Parent Review8y ago - Anacortes High School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFidalgo has a private school feel in a public school setting. We moved to Anacortes intentionally for the school system (among other great things) and knew that we wanted Fidalgo out of the gate. Every teacher is dedicated to the kids, the underserved and disadvantaged programs are robust, and gifted children are quietly but firmly moved into advanced studies- all within the boundaries of the school itself. It is commonplace to find no room in the visitor parking lot because there are so many volunteers assisting in the classrooms. Tara Dowd runs a tight ship and fearlessly searches for ways to innovate within the boundaries of state requirements. I've never seen so many students so eagerly participating at any school, anywhere else. All the elementary schools in ASD 103 are great, but there's something about Fidalgo, year after year, that makes it so sought after. Just ask any Fidalgo grad.Parent Review9y ago - Island View Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don’t know how this school could be rated its current ratings on great schools. It is unsafely understaffed, the kindergarten classes do mostly worksheets- inappropriate for that age group. The principal is unprofessional and concerned with climbing the ladder. Special Ed is run terribly- they will refuse any service your child needs and you will have to fight like hell. If they don’t have the therapy staff to provide your child the therapy they require they conveniently don’t tell you unless you ask- no integrity. Would never send a special ed kid here. Most families I know have pulled their kids from Island View/ ASD. Lastly, a tactic they like to use is suggesting your special ed child do half day, this way they don’t have to hire more staffing, but they’ll spin it like it’s to benefit your child.Parent Review2y ago - Mount Erie Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe transferred to Mt. Erie from Island View so my son could participate in the special program they offered. He LOVES it! I wish we would have transferred him sooner. He has grown and matured much and his math and reading has improved by leaps and bounds! Thank you Mt. Erie Elementary School!!Other Review9y ago
