Sharon Benson • September 19, 2025

Perfectly situated right on the shores of Wollochet Bay in Gig Harbor, this 0.97-acre property with 128 feet of waterfront is ready for you to bring your ideas and build your dream home! Surrounded by scenic farmland, Pacific Northwest greenery, and picturesque residential communities, this property offers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design the lifestyle you’ve always wanted. Vacation-inspired days await—admire views of the bay, have fun watching wildlife (you might even see an orca!), and head out kayaking and boating at every chance you get. Located at 2415 48th Avenue Gig Harbor, WA 98335 and less than 10 minutes to shopping, dining, Highway 16 and much more, this property is listed for $1,000,000. 

This listing includes 2 wooded parcels for a total of 0.97 acres, offering ample room to bring your vision of home-sweet-home to life. You can finally design and build your forever home in one of Gig Harbor’s most beautiful areas. As you put your imagination to work on your new property, hop on a boat and cruise around the bay—there are plenty of absolutely stunning properties to draw your inspiration from! 

Featuring low to no bank waterfront, this vacant land provides the potential to reach the water’s edge and make the most of having beach access. Neighbors have created epic outdoor living spaces, pathways and staircases that lead to the beach, boat houses where you can store your watercraft and outdoor toys, and many neighbors have even built out docks where they can keep their boats close by. Spend your days exploring the shoreline on your kayak or paddle board, or hop on your boat for an afternoon cruise whenever the mood strikes. On hot days, go for a swim, or refresh and rejuvenate with a cold plunge. 

You can also enjoy staying on the lookout for wildlife; you have front row seats, after all. Spot seals playing, have fun observing all of the different types of birds that come to visit, and if you’re lucky, you’ll even get to see some orcas passing by. And that’s only the beginning—many other animals call Wollochet Bay their home as well. Be sure to have a pair of binoculars handy!
