Overlooking Holmes Harbor, multiple old and new buildings dot the lovingly tended landscape around this garden’s 2.5-acre property, which has obviously been designed by artists with an eye for color and texture. In fact, the original garage shed has been renovated as a creative studio for a wide variety of artistic mediums. Many Whidbey artists will be featured on the lawn ringing the sunken, magical flower garden that now sits in the location of the original home’s foundation. Be sure to look for that garden’s mailbox! A large, remodeled barn anchors the courtyard-shaped building arrangement, so each has a view of the water and the garden. Each building has its own individual planting beds, as well. Unique outbuildings have additional stories that combine to make this a peaceful, welcoming quintessential Whidbey Island homestead. Come, relax and take in the view. Who knows? If you spot any Orcas in the harbor, you might even get to ring the whale bell!
