<\/p>\n

The priciest listing in Washington state<\/a> just hit the market for an astonishing $75 million.<\/p>\n

Located on San Juan Island<\/a>, the legacy property known as Halftide Farms<\/a> sits on 87 acres and serves up unbelievable views of \u00a0Salish Sea and Mount Baker.<\/p>\n

Featuring five different residences, each with its own guest cottage, the custom-built property<\/a>\u00a0has sport courts, a cabana with an outdoor kitchen, and a putting green.<\/p>\n

And, naturally, there\u2019s plenty more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a family compound with the average size of each of the homes around 4,000 square feet,\u201d says listing agent Tere Foster<\/strong>, of Compass Bellevue.\u00a0\u201cNothing is missing in these houses. They share a common area that includes two swimming pools, a tennis court, a pickle ball court, and four ponds\u2014with some being used for irrigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the price tag is large, so is the property, which is set up for family gatherings.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a 3,200-square-foot, four-bedroom bunkhouse designed for kids; a four-bedroom field house; a\u00a04,200-square-foot, three-bedroom beach house; a 2,600-square-foot, three-bedroom caretaker\u2019s house; and a building with a game room on the upper level and storage space for maintenance equipment on the bottom level.<\/p>\n

The original, three-bedroom house on the property was built in 1994.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is truly a family compound,\u201d Foster says.<\/p>\n

There are four lots that total the 90 acres and 600 feet of water frontage.<\/p>\n

\u201cSan Juan Island is a fabulous place,\u201d Foster notes. \u201cIt is accessible by plane, boat, or ferry. It\u2019s close to Canada and receives less rain and more sunshine than Seattle. The island\u2019s population is only about 6,000 people. There are restaurants, a movie theater and a grocery store. It\u2019s not on the ocean; it\u2019s protected in a sound area, so people come from all over the world to boat here because it is very smooth sailing and is a very popular spot for boaters.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says the property has been \u201cperfectly maintained\u201d and is move-in ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really plug and play for someone who doesn\u2019t want to make any changes,\u201d she says. \u201cEverything has been kept in terrific condition, and it is ready for a family to enjoy this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original owner of the property was the late Barry Ackerley<\/strong>, who once owned the Seattle SuperSonics and the Seattle Storm basketball franchise. Three generations of his family have owned the beautiful compound.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe property has been a secondary residence for this family, but it can certainly be a primary residence, as well,\u201d Foster says. \u201cMost who have looked at it own multiple homes across the world. I think the next buyer will be looking for a multigenerational property.\u00a0I do believe this family will be replaced by another family looking for that special place out of the city where they can make wonderful family memories.\u201d<\/p>\n
