Discover Kitsap County’s most coveted luxury homesteads — from Lemolo’s waterfront charm to Seabeck’s forested serenity. Here’s where timeless beauty and intentional living meet.
Where Luxury Meets Country Roots
The morning mist settles over Liberty Bay, catching the first light as it drifts past cedar-lined pastures and quiet waterfront homes. Horses graze lazily in the distance, and the smell of woodsmoke mingles with salt air. You cradle a mug of coffee on the porch, watching the day come alive — no noise, no rush, just the rhythm of a place that lets you breathe.
This is what luxury looks like in Kitsap County. Not flashy or loud, but grounded, intentional, and rich in space and serenity. As a local agent and fellow dreamer, I’ve seen how deeply this lifestyle resonates with families and professionals alike — those who want the beauty of the Pacific Northwest paired with refined living and room to roam.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a property where elegance meets acreage, this list is for you.
The Top 5 Luxury Homestead Destinations in Kitsap County
1. Lemolo — Waterfront Elegance
Just across Liberty Bay from downtown Poulsbo lies Lemolo, a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood that defines coastal sophistication. Here, luxury homes in Kitsap County often feature sweeping bay views, private docks, and thoughtfully designed architecture that blends coastal modern with timeless craftsman details.
Properties typically range from $1.2M–$2M, depending on water access and acreage. It’s a community where morning walks along Lemolo Shore Drive offer views of sailboats drifting at anchor, and where neighbors wave as they paddle by on kayaks.
Lemolo’s charm lies in its balance — waterfront tranquility paired with easy access to Poulsbo’s shops, restaurants, and markets. This area is perfect for buyers who crave peace but still want connection.

2. Scandia Valley — Rolling Acreage and Refined Rural Charm
Tucked north of Poulsbo, Scandia Valley stretches across rolling farmland, dotted with heritage barns and luxury farmhouses. Here, it’s common to find estate homes on 5–20 acres with Olympic Mountain views and modern amenities like chef’s kitchens, spa-style bathrooms, and equestrian facilities.
Buyers are drawn to Scandia for its blend of community and privacy. It’s a place where families still gather for local harvest festivals, and where you can find small orchards and hobby farms that feel a world away — yet remain just minutes from downtown Poulsbo and the Kingston ferry.
Homes in Scandia range from $950K to over $1.8M, often showcasing artisan craftsmanship, high-end finishes, and that coveted balance of beauty and function.
3. Miller Bay Estates (Indianola) — Coastal Sophistication
Nestled near Indianola, Miller Bay Estates offers a more secluded type of luxury living. Towering evergreens frame the shoreline, and many properties include private beach access or panoramic views of Miller Bay.
Home prices range between $1.1M and $2.3M, with designs that mix modern architecture and natural materials — think cedar siding, walls of windows, and outdoor living spaces made for long summer nights.
This area attracts those who crave both elegance and adventure — paddleboarding before breakfast, coffee on the deck as herons glide past, and just a short drive to Indianola’s art scene and ferry to Seattle.

4. Seabeck — Secluded Serenity and Mountain Majesty
Further west, Seabeck feels like the heart of the Pacific Northwest — a hidden gem where mountain views, forested acreage, and quiet beaches define the landscape.
Luxury homes here range from $1M to $2.5M, often sitting on large parcels overlooking Hood Canal or the Olympic Mountains. It’s a favorite for buyers seeking ultimate privacy and natural beauty — a place to watch elk wander at dawn or sip wine on the porch as the sun sets over the peaks.
Despite its peaceful isolation, Seabeck is within an easy drive of Silverdale’s shopping and dining, offering the perfect blend of remoteness and convenience.
If you dream of owning a legacy property surrounded by nature, Seabeck delivers that once-in-a-lifetime feeling every single day.
5. Bainbridge Island Countryside — Prestige Meets Pastoral Beauty
For those who want refined living with rural charm, Bainbridge Island’s countryside offers an exceptional mix of both. Beyond the downtown art galleries and waterfront estates lies a quieter world — where luxury homesteads stretch across acres of orchard, woodland, and meadows.
Homes often list between $1.5M and $3.5M, featuring architecture that blends clean modern lines with warm natural finishes. Whether it’s a mid-century farmhouse or a newly built retreat with solar power and equestrian facilities, Bainbridge’s countryside reflects a life of intentional elegance.
Commuters love the direct ferry access to Seattle, while locals appreciate the island’s strong community, farmers markets, and small-town charm.
