Description

Lake Samish waterfront living at its best! This extraordinary 5,000+ sq ft estate offers 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, and 67 ft of low-bank shoreline with a private dock. Expansive windows frame panoramic lake and mountain views from nearly every room, while multiple patios, rooftop decks, and thoughtfully designed spaces create seamless indoor-outdoor living with both privacy and elegance. The flexible layout includes multiple kitchens and separate entrances, making it ideal for multigenerational living, guest use, or maximizing rental potential. With a proven track record as a successful Airbnb, this property offers strong income-generating potential while leaving room to elevate and add value. A detached outbuilding provides space for hobbies, work, or your own creative vision. Enjoy direct access to the water, nearby forested trails, and close proximity to Galbraith Mountain biking. Conveniently located with quick I-5 access and just 30 minutes to the Canadian border, this rare opportunity combines luxury, lifestyle, and investment potential in one remarkable waterfront setting.
