“I Wonder if Herbie's Home Yet” – the community
This home is part of the first planned community development on Bainbridge Island started in 1976. Created by Bill and Minne Isley, the architect/planner and owners of 3187 Pt White, this community is made up of 7 home sites– each planned for privacy- connected by private trails and sited on a total of 8 acres.
Follow the path past the Koi pond, through the woods to the end of Tara Lane and enjoy the pleasant walk past similarly stunning architectural homes to the cleared open common area. There you will find a covered pavilion with a river rock fireplace, cooking facilities, sauna, vegetable garden, and an athletic court. Many family celebrations and weddings have been held here over the years.
Stories about the planned community have been published in Home Magazine, Seattle Times, Retaining a Sense of Place – Case Study and various books on architectural design.
Seven owners each own a fee-simple share of the eight acre wooded lot. There are Seven 100 foot circles (approx 7,200 sqft). Inside the eight acres and each owner has total control over the area within his circle –the rest of the land, approx. 6.8 acres of heavily forested open space is held in common.
