Whitecliff Farm is a small community on Decatur Island. It consists of six two-acre lots (of which four have homes) and a shared 58 acres of common area. The common area includes 1200 feet of southeast-facing beach, a large meadow and orchard, a productive fenced garden (berries, vegetables and flowers), a barn now providing storage for community-owned equipment, a restored homestead building, a root cellar, and a community water system. The extensive forest area is accessible by a network of trails. The community also owns lots in Decatur Shores to provide access to the dock and the airstrip as needed. The community takes its name from the White Cliff shoreline area on the southeast side of the island. The high bluff provides spectacular views of Rosario Strait; Mt. Baker; Fidalgo, Whidbey and Lopez Islands; and the Cascade and Olympic ranges. Also in view are the three Bird Rocks in mid-strait, and (at low tide) Dot Rock State Park. |
