Welcome to the Main House at El Haven — a waterfront home inside one of Whidbey Island’s rarest private gated estates.
This 4-bedroom Main House sleeps up to 10 guests and gives you access to the estate’s best shared amenities: 800 ft of private beach, deep-water dock, tennis court, putting green, fully fenced dog park, mature landscaping, expansive lawns, and beautiful Puget Sound views.
It is ideal for family vacations, wedding guest stays, executive stays, small retreats, dog-friendly escapes, and guests who want the feeling of a private estate without booking the entire property.
THE MAIN HOUSE
The Main House is the estate’s signature gathering home — elegant, spacious, and designed for connection.
Inside, the great room features vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, skylights, chandeliers, hardwood floors, large artwork, and multiple seating areas. It is a beautiful place for your group to relax, talk, read, or gather after a day on the island.
One of the home’s best features is the glass-wrapped billiards room, with a pool table, natural light, water views, and direct deck access. It gives the house a private-club feel and is perfect for rainy days, after-dinner games, or late-night conversations.
A bright waterfront lounge adds another peaceful space for morning coffee, reading, remote work, or quiet time with views toward the trees and water.
OUTDOOR LIVING
The Main House opens to expansive decks, outdoor dining areas, patio seating, and a covered outdoor kitchen.
Start the day with coffee outside, grill lunch by the outdoor kitchen, gather for sunset drinks, or enjoy dinner overlooking the lawns and water. The indoor-outdoor flow is one of the strongest parts of the home.
ESTATE ACCESS
Main House guests enjoy access to the estate’s shared outdoor amenities:
✔︎ 800 ft private beach ✔︎ Deep-water dock ✔︎ Beautiful Puget Sound views ✔︎ Tennis court ✔︎ Putting green ✔︎ Fully fenced dog park ✔︎ Mature landscaping ✔︎ Expansive lawns ✔︎ Garden paths and waterfront walking areas
Walk down to the shoreline, watch the tide move through the bay, play tennis, practice putting, let your dog enjoy the fenced dog park, or simply relax in the quiet beauty of the estate.
BEDROOMS
The Main House has 4 bedrooms and sleeps up to 10 guests.
It works well for families, close friends, wedding guests, small retreats, or multi-generational groups who want to stay together in one beautiful waterfront home.
