Sylvan Reach: A Once-in-a-Generation Lake Washington Legacy Holding

Published July 30, 2026

Sylvan Reach unites two parcels and two waterfronts into one of the most significant remaining private holdings on Lake Washington — 220 feet of southwest-facing shoreline across more than three-quarters of an acre, stepping down through cathedral evergreens to three docks, three distinct structures, and an uninterrupted arc of afternoon and evening sun. Rare in its scale, irreplaceable in its position, and deeply flexible in its future, this southwest Mercer Island compound invites a buyer with both vision and patience. Whether realized as a singular legacy estate or thoughtfully reimagined as two substantial waterfront homes, Sylvan Reach represents the kind of opportunity that appears, at most, once in a generation.
