Inside BASK Design Build's Newest Gig Harbor Communities: Graham Ranch & Warren Beach

In Summary:

  • BASK Design Build just opened two new pre-sale communities in Gig Harbor: Graham Ranch, a 37-acre gated enclave of 10 estate lots on a former cattle ranch, and Warren Beach, a rare 6-lot waterfront community with private beach access.
  • Both communities are in early pre-sale, meaning the best lots go fastest — Warren Beach in particular may be one of the last waterfront developments of its kind given today's shoreline regulations.
  • As BASK's exclusive Gig Harbor realtor, Paige offers first-in-line access to both communities' pre-sale lists.

The Pew Research Center found that 55% of American adults prefer to live in a community where houses are larger and farther apart. Many people who are looking to put down roots in Gig Harbor may want to live in a gated community that has these offerings, and they're in luck.

While there are already several gated neighborhoods spread across the area, getting an exclusive chance at living in the newest communities can be enticing. BASK Design Build is offering locals new construction homes in Gig Harbor, WA to fulfill their property dreams.

What's New at BASK Design Build

BASK Design Build is excited to announce new homes in Gig Harbor that are part of two boutique communities: Graham Ranch and Warren Beach. These are only just opening for pre-sale, and both are coming soon, but here are more details if you're intrigued, especially if cookie-cutter communities aren't your thing. You'll only see them here first through me, as BASK's exclusive realtor!

Graham Ranch: A Historic Homestead Reimagined

The Land & Its Legacy

Graham Ranch was originally the G.R. Graham cattle ranch, which was a working operation for over 50 years. While it no longer serves the local area with cattle operations, this historic homestead is still stunning and ready to serve residents. There are amazing fir and maple trees that tower through the land, and BASK has specifically focused on designing the community as a low-impact development.

The Details 

The parcel for Graham Ranch reaches nearly 37 acres, and there are 10 estate lots total. Each one spans 1.1 to 1.73 acres, depending on the specific one you're looking at.

Zooming out, you'll get 19 acres of preserved open space that features the gorgeous trees I mentioned previously, as well as a landmarked fishing pond. It's perfect for those who love nature!

Just because you're right in the middle of nature doesn't necessarily mean you'll go without amenities though. Graham Ranch has secure gated entry, as well as room for the following additions:

Warren Beach: A Rare Waterfront Opportunity

The Setting

You'll want to act fast on Warren Beach, as this is such a rare property. This community is positioned on the south-facing bluff on Hales Passage, with incredible panoramic views across Carr Inlet. 

It puts you right in front of the water, meaning intimate access to wildlife observation. There are eagles, salmon, seals, and whales that inhabit this area, so there's always something exciting to see, all throughout the year.

The Details

This is a smaller community than Graham Ranch, but there's still plenty of space in Warren Beach. There are 6 near-acre homesites, and all of them have private beach access. This means that you and your loved ones can take a dip whenever you wish, without having to share beautiful space with other visitors who make things crowded.

There are also deeded tidelands, which further enforce privacy for the residents in this community. Those who enjoy time out on the water will be pleased to know that there are individual boat moorage buoys. 

Today's shoreline regulations make this kind of project increasingly rare, so if you're looking for other communities like this one, it may be challenging to find another that matches up to this community's offerings and settings. 

Why Buyers Are Moving Early on These Two 

It's understandable to take your time and weigh your options, especially when it comes to something as important as choosing where you and your family will live for years to come. But buyers are moving early on these specific communities!

This is because the pre-sale phase is extremely competitive. As the name suggests, this is where those who are interested get first pick of the lots. Obviously, once a lot is snatched up, it's gone for good, so you want to secure your place in the community.

In addition to priority access on Gig Harbor, WA real estate, you'll get to work directly with the builder's go-to real estate team. They'll ensure that every custom detail you want on the house will be carried out.

Graham Ranch & Warren Beach FAQs

How big are the lots at Graham Ranch?
Graham Ranch's 10 estate lots range from 1.1 to 1.73 acres each, set within a nearly 37-acre property that also includes 19 acres of permanently preserved open space with mature fir and maple trees and a landmarked fishing pond.
Does Warren Beach really have private beach access?
Yes. All six Warren Beach homesites include deeded tidelands and private beach access, plus an individual boat moorage buoy per lot — a rare offering given how tightly today's shoreline regulations limit new waterfront development in the area.
Can I customize my home at Graham Ranch or Warren Beach?
Yes — both communities are custom design-build, meaning you work with BASK Design Build to design your home to your specifications after securing a lot, rather than choosing from pre-built floor plans.
Why should I move quickly on a pre-sale lot?
Pre-sale buyers get first pick of available lots, and once a lot in a small community like this sells, it's gone. With only 10 lots at Graham Ranch and 6 at Warren Beach, both communities are expected to move quickly once they officially launch.
How do I get on the pre-sale list?
Join the VIP interest list through Paige Schulte, BASK Design Build's exclusive Gig Harbor realtor, for first-in-line notice when lots or homes are released at either community.
