Rare Hood Canal investment, aquaculture and land opportunity encompassing three parcels totaling 33.49 acres, plus approximately 9.16 acres of fee-owned Hood Canal tidelands and approximately 658 feet of waterfront.
The offering combines an established commercial shellfish growing property, substantial timbered acreage, waterfront infrastructure and the underlying fee interest in land occupied by Jorstad Creek Resort—creating an unusual combination of current resource-based income potential and long-term land value.
Commercial Aquaculture: The Hood Canal waterfront and tidelands support established commercial cultivation of Pacific oysters, Manila clams and geoduck. Existing improvements include a waterfront aquaculture/processing facility with a new metal roof and upgraded electrical service, along with harvest infrastructure and certain equipment available with the sale. Seller-provided planting and inventory information indicates substantial existing cultivated shellfish stock. Commercial aquaculture operations may continue subject to applicable licensing, permitting, treaty harvest rights and regulatory requirements.
Timber & Future-Use Acreage: Across Highway 101, approximately 26.58 acres of heavily wooded land adjoins thousands of acres of public DNR land. The property contains merchantable timber, existing trails and significant resource/recreational potential. Seller is currently pursuing a Forest Practices Application associated with a potential partial timber harvest. Existing water rights provide capacity associated with up to two additional residential connections and 14 additional RV connections, subject to applicable land-use, septic and permitting requirements.
Jorstad Creek Resort Leased-Fee Interest: The sale includes the underlying fee ownership of the parcel occupied by Jorstad Creek Resort. The Resort organization/business and individual member interests are separately owned and are not included in the sale. The Resort operates pursuant to a long-term ground lease extending through December 31, 2083. Buyer acquires the property owner's/landlord's interest under the applicable Resort agreements.
Infrastructure: Private water system and water rights, seven separate septic systems serving various portions of the property, existing power and substantial established site infrastructure.
The property offers multiple potential paths for a new owner—from continuing and expanding commercial shellfish production, to managing timber/resource assets, exploring future development of the upland acreage, or creating a private Olympic Peninsula retreat while retaining the property's existing commercial components.
