Halftide Farms: A 90-Acre Waterfront Legacy on San Juan Island

Lucía Torres · 2026-05-13

### A Legacy of Stewardship and Luxury Presenting one of the Pacific Northwest's most extraordinary private compounds: Halftide Farms. This gated, 90-acre waterfront estate on San Juan Island offers more than 650 feet of pristine low-bank beachfront. The panoramic views stretch across open water to Mount Baker, and the property has been carefully stewarded by the Ackerley family over two generations. The family held ownership stakes in several professional sports franchises, including the Seattle Sonics (NBA), Seattle Storm (WNBA), Seattle Seawolves (MLR), Seattle Kraken (NHL), and Leeds United FC (English Premier League). ### The Estate's Design and Structures Represented by The Agency's Jen Cameron and Jonathan Ruiz, Halftide Farms was curated over more than three decades and built by Schultz Miller. The estate spans approximately 19,000 square feet across six distinct structures. These include three primary residences: The Beach House, The Farm House, and The Field House. Each residence is complemented by its own guest cottage, alongside a bunkhouse, game house, and caretaker's residence.  ### Resort-Caliber Amenities The property is packed with amenities that rival any luxury resort. You'll find two pools with a cabana, tennis and pickleball courts, and a three-hole golf course. There are also four ponds, a greenhouse, and two private mooring buoys. It's a place where you can spend your days playing, relaxing, and enjoying the natural beauty. ### The Island Lifestyle San Juan Island is anchored by Friday Harbor and the iconic Roche Harbor Resort. It offers world-class yachting, dining, and coastal charm. You can enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, crabbing, whale watching, paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating. The culinary scene is exceptional, and there's access to quality healthcare. Travel + Leisure has ranked the San Juan Islands among the top islands in the continental United States for five consecutive years. They've long captivated visitors from around the world. ### Unmatched Access and Proximity What has remained beyond reach, until now, is an estate without equal. You can arrive by seaplane from Seattle in about 45 minutes. Or come by private jet via Friday Harbor Airport or nearby Bellingham Airport. You could also arrive by private vessel directly to your shoreline or by ferry through the breathtaking San Juan archipelago. Vancouver, British Columbia, lies just 60 miles to the north. ### A Rare Opportunity This property is more than just a home; it's a legacy. It's a chance to own a piece of the Pacific Northwest's finest coastline. For more information or to schedule a private tour, contact Jen Cameron and Jonathan Ruiz. Photos by Amaryllis Lockhart.
