Hop on the ferry, watch the mainland shrink behind you, and arrive somewhere most people never find. Herron Island is one of the few remaining private islands in Puget Sound, a close-knit community of just over 100 residents where eagles fly overhead, deer wander freely, and the outside world genuinely feels far away. Spend your days exploring North Beach Park, walking the natural shoreline of South Beach, or unwinding at Goodpastor Park. It is the kind of place people stumble onto and never stop thinking about. This 1 bed, 1 bath bungalow plus bonus room sits on just over a half-acre, one of the larger buildable lots on the island, and has been thoughtfully improved with a full gut renovation of the kitchen and bathroom and all-new appliances. The groundwork for a little homestead life is already here, a deer-proof fenced garden area where dahlias once flourished and a chicken coop ready for new tenants. Use it as your personal escape, rent it out while you are away, or hold it and build something bigger down the road. HOA covers water. Access via the community ferry Charlie Wells, a 10-minute crossing that makes all the difference. Step off the ferry and you will pass a general store currently under construction, close enough that your ice cream won't have a chance to melt.
