A Northwest contemporary waterfront retreat featuring sun-drenched Mediterranean plantings beds, Asian-inspired shade gardens and a hillside vegetable and fruit orchard perched above.

An elegant European garden graced by stone terraces and formal fountains with a bounty of organically-grown edibles at every turn.  

An inviting certified wildlife sanctuary and botanical garden featuring over 300 species of native and Northwest climate-friendly plants and six unique water features scattered alongside a running creek.
