Set on the scenic shores of San Juan Island, Halftide Farms is a private 90-acre waterfront estate that offers a rare combination of natural beauty and thoughtful craftsmanship. This property, which boasts over 650 feet of low-bank beachfront, provides unobstructed views of open waters stretching towards Mount Baker. The estate has been carefully maintained by the Ackerley family, known for their involvement in various professional sports franchises such as the Seattle Sonics and Leeds United FC, across two generations.
With representation from The Agency’s Jen Cameron and Jonathan Ruiz, Halftide Farms stands as a product of over thirty years of curation. Developed by Schultz Miller, the estate encompasses around 19,000 square feet spread across six buildings that include The Beach House, The Farm House, and The Field House.
Each primary residence is paired with its own guest cottage, supplemented by a bunkhouse, game house, and caretaker’s living quarters. Amenities rival those of a resort and include two swimming pools with a cabana, well-maintained tennis and pickleball courts, a three-hole golf course, several ponds, a greenhouse, and two private mooring buoys.


San Juan Island, anchored by Friday Harbor and the renowned Roche Harbor Resort, offers a range of recreational activities including yachting, hiking, and whale watching. The island has consistently been recognized by Travel + Leisure as one of the top islands in the continental United States. With its blend of natural beauty and outdoor experiences, San Juan Island draws visitors from all over the globe.
This estate provides unparalleled access. Guests may arrive by seaplane from Seattle in about 45 minutes, utilize private jets at nearby airports, or dock directly at the shoreline. The picturesque ferry rides through the San Juan archipelago offer additional options. Additionally, Vancouver, British Columbia, is just 60 miles to the north.
For inquiries or to arrange a private showing, interested parties are encouraged to contact Jen Cameron and Jonathan Ruiz.
