Description
Welcome to a rare offering on Vancouver Island’s eastern shore, a walk-on waterfront estate that delivers the full sensory experience of oceanfront living. Set along miles of uninterrupted beach, this property invites you to stroll the shoreline, launch a kayak or small boat from your private access, and cast for salmon just steps from your deck. With pinks and coho running feet from shore and clams waiting in your own front yard, this is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle.
The main residence is a beautifully updated 3-4 Bedroom 3 Bath rancher, designed for single level living and effortless comfort with 160 feet of oceanfront. A quartz island anchors the updated gourmet kitchen, complemented by custom cabinetry and upgraded appliances. The updated laundry room features quartz counters, while the primary suite offers a glass enclosed shower, walk-in closet, and serene ocean views. New hardwood floors, a heat pump, roof, and insulated basement ensure modern efficiency and peace of mind.
Step outside into nature’s theatre: eagles soar overhead, seals lounge offshore, and the annual herring run unfolds in front of your deck. The rhythmic sound of waves lulls you to sleep, and the ever changing beach offers a front row seat to the beauty of the Salish Sea. With no neighbours in sight, only wildlife as your companions. Privacy here is absolute.
Above the main home, a charming 1 bedroom guest cottage with a den offers versatility and income potential. Historically rented, it has generated enough revenue to cover annual utilities and taxes. The cottage features an open layout, updated kitchen, wood stove, skylights, and a glass railed deck with forest and ocean views.
Additional features include a covered carport, oversized garage with workshop potential, and a 6 ft insulated unfinished basement, ideal for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. A tranquil retreat, full-time residence, or legacy property, this oceanfront haven offers unmatched value and privacy.
