About the Listing 9440 - 114512

A rare opportunity to bypass the lengthy and uncertain development process and move directly into building your island retreat. This south-facing homesite offers expansive water views over the Sound and a layered panorama of surrounding islands, paired with an exceptional level of pre-development already in place. Property offers filtered Purdue Lake views with strong view potential depending on home placement and selective clearing (buyer to verify). An active building permit (valid through February 2027, with extension potential), approved septic design, and utilities brought directly to the building site and connected—including water, power conduit, and high-speed fiber optic internet—eliminate many of the typical barriers to construction. EV charging infrastructure is already installed, supporting a modern, high-performance build.Significant investment has been made in site preparation, including a partially completed greenhouse and auxiliary structure with a premium BC Greenhouse kit onsite and foundational work in place. Custom-designed plans provide a clear path forward while still allowing flexibility for a buyer to tailor the final design.With HOA dues and road fees paid, and key permitting and infrastructure completed, this property offers a streamlined path to construction rarely found on Orcas Island. Ideal for a buyer ready to build now. Nearby trail access to Moran State Park adds to the appeal.
