Luxury Homes by Setting
Waterfront and Lakefront Homes
For many buyers, luxury in Bellingham starts with the water. Lake Whatcom offers lakefront living close to town, with Sudden Valley waterfront along its south shore. Lake Samish brings a quieter lake setting just south of the city, and saltwater homes line Bellingham Bay, the Chuckanut shoreline, Semiahmoo and Birch Bay Village.
Every waterfront home has its own shoreline, water access, docks and exposure, and we walk through each one with you. Our guide to buying a waterfront property in Bellingham covers what to look for.
View Homes
Some of Bellingham’s most established neighborhoods are known for their views. Edgemoor offers larger properties, privacy and an easy walk to Fairhaven and the bay, while South Hill is sought after for its views and location above downtown. Depending on the home, views may take in Bellingham Bay, the San Juan Islands, the lakes or Mount Baker.
Nearby Fairhaven offers something different, with historic character, newer luxury condos, restaurants, shops and a walkable waterfront setting.
Acreage and Equestrian Estates
Beyond the city, Whatcom County offers private acreage, gentleman farms and estates with room for barns, arenas and pasture. These homes pair space and privacy with an easy drive into Bellingham. See current farms and horse properties across Whatcom County.
Newer Custom Homes
Luxury homes can also be found throughout Bellingham in newer and custom built properties. Depending on the location, buyers may find contemporary architecture, expansive windows designed around the views, high end finishes, larger lots, outdoor living spaces and homes designed specifically for the property and setting.
Why Work With Us on a Luxury Home
Josh and Jolene each bring over 25 years of real estate experience, and we work equally on homes, waterfront and commercial property across Bellingham and Whatcom County. Our recent work includes luxury transactions above $6 million.
We work as a team on every home, so you have both of us on your side from the first showing to closing day.
- An eye for presentation. Jolene grew up in a family of interior designers and brings that eye to preparing and presenting every listing. Our team includes an in-house stager, so your home shows at its best from the first photo.
- Waterfront know-how. We value waterfront and view homes by what truly sets them apart: shoreline, water access, views and the comparable sales behind them. These homes rarely fit neighborhood averages or price per square foot, so we look closely at the details behind each sale.
- Acreage and horse properties. Jolene’s lifelong equestrian background helps buyers and sellers of acreage, barns and arenas see the full value of farms and horse properties.
- Local roots. We help buyers relocating from Seattle, California and beyond find the right home and the right neighborhood, from the lake to the bay.
Bellingham Luxury Homes FAQ
What is considered a luxury home in Bellingham?
In Bellingham, luxury is defined as much by setting and quality as by price. Waterfront and lakefront access, sweeping views, privacy, acreage, architecture and quality of construction all play a part. A Lake Whatcom waterfront home offers a very different experience from an Edgemoor estate or a custom home overlooking Bellingham Bay.
Where are the best waterfront neighborhoods in Bellingham?
Lake Whatcom, including Sudden Valley, and Lake Samish are the best known lakefront areas. Saltwater homes line Bellingham Bay and the Chuckanut shoreline, and just north of Bellingham you will find Semiahmoo in Blaine and Birch Bay Village. Each offers its own shoreline, water access and community feel.
Can you help me sell a luxury or waterfront home?
Yes. We price each home from the comparable sales that truly match it, including shoreline, views and lot. Jolene grew up in a family of interior designers and brings that eye to preparing and presenting every listing, and our team includes an in-house stager. Call us at (360) 223-4501 to talk about your home.
Who are the best luxury real estate agents in Bellingham?
Josh and Jolene Baijot are among Bellingham’s most experienced luxury real estate agents, with over 25 years of experience with waterfront, view and luxury homes across Bellingham and Whatcom County. Call us at (360) 223-4501.
Do buyers relocate to Bellingham for luxury homes?
Yes. We work with buyers relocating to Bellingham from Seattle, California and other parts of the country. Many are drawn by privacy, natural surroundings and easy access to the water and mountains, all with a smaller city lifestyle.
What should I look at when buying a Bellingham waterfront or luxury property?
Beyond the home itself, we help you understand the property: shoreline rules, docks, septic or sewer, wells, private roads, associations and acreage. These details vary from one home to the next, and knowing them up front gives you confidence in your offer.
