Orcas Island Realty began over 50 years ago as a pioneer in Orcas Island Real Estate sales. Then, as now people were drawn here by the island’s stunning beauty, relaxed lifestyle and friendly, self-reliant neighbors. The infectious charm can be felt with the first step off the ferry.
Largest of the San Juan Islands, this 57 square mile island abounds with lush gardens and farms, and decades-old orchards that root in the fertile soils of the rolling valleys. It is also blessed with the fertile imaginations of a populace that prides itself on doing things a little differently. If you have ever wondered what it is like to live in a community that has a sense of self, Orcas is truly worth investigating.
The San Juan Islands have been called the “Islands of delight” by many, but to the truly fortunate they are called “home.” Your visit to Orcas Island, whether for a day or a decade will likely be memorable. The key is to open yourself to anything.
That special feeling might be because there are enough artists on this island alone to develop an “Artists Registry,” or the driving urge of island residents to give the young people of this community something that speaks to them, such as a world class skateboard park. The human side of this island is engaging, and surprising.
