Catch the ferry, watch the shoreline shrink behind you, and arrive somewhere most people don't even know is real. Herron Island is one of the last privately-owned islands in Puget Sound, home to a close community of just over 100 residents, where eagles wheel overhead, deer wander freely, and the noise of everyday life feels miles away. Spend your time at North Beach Park, the untouched shoreline of South Beach, or the quiet of Goodpastor Park. It's the kind of place visitors stumble upon and keep thinking about long after they leave. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow with a versatile bonus room sits on just over half an acre — one of the island's bigger buildable lots — and has already been upgraded with a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel plus brand-new appliances. The foundation for a mini homestead is in place too: a fenced, deer-proof garden bed where dahlias used to bloom, and a chicken coop waiting for its next flock. Keep it as a private getaway, list it as a rental when you're not around, or hang onto it as a launchpad for something larger later. HOA includes water. You'll reach the island via the community ferry, the Charlie Wells, a quick 10-minute ride that changes everything.

Tucked away on private Herron Island, this rare ½-acre property with water views offers the perfect blend of peaceful island living and future potential. Accessible by ferry, this is your opportunity to own a true Pacific Northwest retreat. The property is cleared and build-ready, featuring a permitted 320 sq ft custom tiny home (classified as an outbuilding) set on a foundation with electricity and water already connected. The tiny home includes a main-level kitchen with mini fridge and microwave, dining area, and living space with large pull-out bed, plus an upstairs loft for additional sleeping or office space. A major bonus—sellers have completed a 3-bedroom septic design with a recently approved permit, making this property primed for expansion. Live simply in the existing tiny home while you build, create a private getaway, or explore Airbnb/short-term rental potential. Additional features include a 10x10 shed, dog kennel, and even a paddleboat. Herron Island is a private community offering incredible amenities: North Beach Park with sandy beachfront, boat launch, dock, kayak racks, and covered picnic area, plus South Beach Park, scenic trails, and a vibrant community. Whether you're searching for a tiny home escape, build-ready land with utilities, or a unique investment opportunity, this property delivers. Peaceful, private, and about an hour from Tacoma and Puyallup—your island retreat awaits.
