dream estate. Your imagination is the limit. Enter the property driving
through hay and sheep fields, winding down towards the waterfront. On

The main home is a renovated 1930 farmhouse with many original features,
flooded with natural light and has been thoughtfully updated
throughout. South east exposure. Views from every window are astounding.
Sweeping ocean views provide the backdrop to the unique home, which

room provides a relaxed space to enjoy with loved ones. A laundry room
and two piece bathroom complete the main. Above, the spacious primary
bedroom offers a 200 degrees view with stunning sunrises, sound of ocean
during winter storms, large walk-in closet, four piece ensuite and a
Juliet balcony. Three more bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, a four
piece bath and private balcony complete the upper level. Below, there is

wine cellar, mudroom and garage access.
The detached barn provides even more living space, ideal for guests,
students or workers – with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, dining room,
living room, sitting area and bathroom. Sunsets behind the barn are
truly breathtaking. The opposing side houses a greenhouse and plenty of
storage.
Outside, the grounds are simply striking, with endless ways to enjoy
year-round. Resort style living with a beautiful half acre pond designed
by Vancouver landscape architect Joe Wai (winner of National Geographic
best small garden - Sun Yet Sen Gardens Vancouver), with several spots
to sit and rest and enjoy summer sun from early morning to sunset past
9pm. Multiple decks and a sprawling patio with covered sections provides
multiple vantage points to witness the dynamic scenery of sparkling
water views with resident wildlife including eagles, whales, seals,
otters, deer and more, making enchanting appearances. Explore the low
bank shoreline, with beautiful tidal pools and driftwood, or launch your
kayak or paddle board and search the surrounding coastline. Low bank
waterfront invites for daily walks; a walk on which is guaranteed to
relieve all stresses. Mature gardens are easy care, and feature a
spectacular display of rhododendrons from March to April, followed by
colourful spring and summer perennial gardens.
Embrace the farm to table lifestyle and grow produce year round. Over 50
fruit trees on the property, some over 80 years old with heirloom
varieties of apples and pears and a blueberry and raspberry patch
providing berries from July to October. Forest includes 100's of
harvestable 80 year Douglas fir trees. Planning on building your own
barn or house, your wood is here.
