Today's estate is quite the compound. It sits on 17 south facing acres on Lopez Island, one of the San Juan Islands in Washington state. This property has a large main home on a peninsula, three guest houses, a barn with office and a greenhouse with surrounding gardens and orchards, a lighted tennis courts, pond with pier, small sandy beach, and best of all, a cute shingled treehouse. The main house has a casual feel and great water views. The kitchen seems a bit crazy with its red and yellow floor and retro yellow stove but the rustic nature of this home is part of its charm. This one is listed at $4.75 million.
