Great opportunity on Lummi Island! Tucked up off the road on a beautifully forested .28-acre lot, this cabin offers privacy and filtered natural light that's hard to find this close to the water. Wooded, sloped, and terraced, the setting feels like a true retreat while still being just minutes from the ferry and the community's shared amenities. The big-ticket items that typically hold buyers back from a project like this have already been handled. The 2-bedroom septic system and water connection are in place, and new subfloor, new drywall, and all-new plumbing have been installed throughout. That means the heavy lifting, the expensive, permit-driven infrastructure work, is done. What's left is largely cosmetic: flooring, paint, finish work, and personal touches, giving a buyer the chance to make this cabin their own without absorbing the cost and hassle of a full gut renovation. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a hands-on project, or an affordable entry point into Lummi Island living, this is a rare chance to get into the community at a lower price point while still ending up with a home built to your own taste. Homeownership includes access to a beach, boat launch, boat docks, clubhouse, swimming lake, and playground, all maintained through the HOA. Bring your vision, your tool belt, and your sense of adventure!

Introducing the Chuckanut Beach Cabin. Sixty-five feet of unobstructed saltwater frontage with tidelands and a secluded beach that few lots in the region can claim. The views are panoramic and cinematic: islands layered on the horizon, ship traffic moving through the bay, Dot Island front and center, sunsets that linger, eagles working the shoreline, and the occasional whale. The kind of setting that does not need to announce itself. The existing one-bedroom cabin is quietly charming—rustic, intimate, and full of character. Vaulted ceilings, a generous sun deck, a level private yard, an outdoor brick barbecue, and room to garden. It is the sort of place that invites slow mornings and unhurried evenings by the water. What makes the offering truly distinctive, however, is the blank canvas beneath it. Upgraded septic system and city water are already in place, clearing the path to reimagine and build a refined residence that fully claims the rare, unobstructed waterfront. Few saltwater-front lots of this quality remain on this stretch of Chuckanut Drive. Whether held as a primary home, a second residence, a strategic rental, or simply the site of the house you have always intended to build, this is a property that rewards vision. Perfect setting. Private beach. Uncompromised views. The rest is yours to compose. Please respect neighbors private property and do not tresspass. Parking is on the east side of Chuckanut Dr in the designated pull off space.

The Feasibility Study is ready for a Developer, or an Investor, who is looking in Bellingham’s highly desired South Hill Neighborhood, and have views of the Bay, Islands, and Mountains. A short walk away is the Fairhaven Historic District, downtown Bellingham, our Farmer’s Market, WWU, and access to Bellingham’s scenic 32-mile trail system. Each of the two existing mirror-image units offers a private entrance, one-bedroom, full bath, kitchen, and living room, making it equally suited for an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage, or an investor seeking steady, reliable rental returns. Currently, the two units produce $2,900 per month. The development study allows for two more units, which will increase the cash flow significantly! The demand for rentals here is consistent and strong — and the waterfront northwest lifestyle appeal, makes attracting quality tenants effortless. In summary, whether you're looking for a live-in investment, building a rental portfolio, or positioning for future redevelopment, this is a versatile asset in one of Bellingham's most sought-after corridors. With views, walkability, and land value all in one. Finding a South Hill, or Fairhaven property like this, is very rare. With climate change, rising temperatures in most southern states, the Pacific Northwest will continue to grow, why not make this property part of your portfolio! If you would like additional information and the development feasibility report, just ask your broker for one.
