Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll see in this tour
- A 4.4-acre property with nearly five acres of mature native forest, a private stream, an artesian spring, and a multi-level pond and waterfall
- A fully custom-built main house with an attached ADU (accessory living quarters), each with independent utilities
- An oversized two-car garage with dual EV charging circuits (40-amp and 50-amp) and room for six vehicles
- Custom, on-site milled woodwork throughout — Douglas fir, big-leaf maple, and western red cedar live-edge pieces
- A whole-property water system fed by three independent sources: a drilled well, a year-round stream, and a natural artesian spring
- Private trails, a working orchard, and direct access to the beach on Murden Cove
Episode overview
In this walkthrough, Fred Glick tours a 4.4-acre custom-built property on Bainbridge Island with the homeowner, Jeremy, who designed and built the home with his wife after searching for a piece of land to build “in the middle of nature.” What started as casual browsing of real estate listings led them to this heavily wooded, part-waterfront parcel — a short ferry ride from Seattle, yet fully private once you’re on it.
Jeremy walks Fred through the custom kitchen and open-concept living space, both primary bedroom wings, the fully independent downstairs residence (legally an ADU), the oversized garage with dual EV charging, and then out into the grounds: hundreds of native trees, a private pond and waterfall, a spring-fed water system, walking trails, an orchard, and direct beach access on Murden Cove. Along the way, Jeremy shares the sustainability-minded decisions behind the build, from modular upstairs construction to insulated concrete slabs to a drought-tolerant EcoLawn.
