About this property

Orcas Farmstead with History in the Soil Just minutes from Eastsound, this south-facing 5.21-acre property offers a rare opportunity to live with land, history, and purpose in a quiet, protected valley. Known locally as Foxglove Farm, the property has long been recognized for blueberries and was part of Thomas Paine Farms, the first farm operation on the continent certified “Sustainable” by The Food Alliance. The setting is a rich mix of orchard, pond, forest, established gardens, flowering trees, blueberries, specialty apple varieties, pears, quince, and trademarked red-fleshed apples. Drip irrigation and existing infrastructure support continued care and cultivation, making this best suited for a buyer who values the farm as much as the home. The residence is a simple 2-bedroom, 1-bath hand-hewn log home with a loft and addition, offering basic comfort and classic Orcas character. Outbuildings include a powered workshop, orchard and tool sheds, and a sauna structure ready for restoration. Systems include 200 amp electrical service, EV charging, mini-split heat pump, and on-demand hot water. Extensive farm equipment, tools, and vehicles are included. A soulful property with depth, infrastructure, and room for its next steward. See inventory list for details.
