About this home

REINTRODUCING WITH A COMPLETELY NEW PERSPECTIVE, this waterfront homesite now offers what buyers have been waiting to see--a cleared unobstructed view across Salmon Creek with stunning sunset exposure. This elevated lot delivers a rare combination of natural beauty and existing private boardwalk leading you across protected wetlands to your owm private dock extending out into the water creating a seamless connection from home to water. This is more than just a homesite--it's an experience. From the moment you step out your back door, the setting transitions from elevated homesite to peaceful marsh to open water, offering a level of privacy and tranquility that is increasingly difficult to find. With protected wetlands in place,your views remain preserved and undisturbed. Unlike many vacant waterfront parcels, the groundwork here is already done. The boardwalk and dock are already in place, saving you both time and significant investment, and allowing you to immediately enjoy the lifestyle while planning your future home. Additionally, this property offers an existing sandy crescent beach, paired with scenic golf views of hole #14 from green to tee. Located in the gated golf and waterfront community of Occano, this homesite reflects both lifestyle and long-term value, especially in light of recent nearby waterfront sales. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST LAND -- ITS A DIFFERENT KIND OF SETTING -- LIKE NO OTHER.
