Description

Set along a private, tree-lined three-quarter-acre waterfront property, this remarkable residence captures Cordova Channel with unobstructed panoramic views of James and Sidney Islands and Mount Baker. From the moment you step inside, the ocean takes centre stage, with the surrounding waters offering views of grey whales, orcas, eagles and coastal birdlife. Natural light fills the home, showcasing the ever-changing landscape, from breathtaking year-round sunrises to beautiful evening sunsets. A private, shallow beachfront adorned with sea glass and shells offers a wonderful connection to the water, with an easy path for launching kayaks, swimming or enjoying a refreshing cold plunge. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the home features a stunning cook's kitchen and generous living spaces, including separate living and family rooms, each with a cozy fireplace. The dining room features a wall of windows framing ocean views and overhead skylights. The spacious primary suite offers a generous feature closet and spa-inspired ensuite, complemented by five additional bedrooms and a private guest suite with separate access. A personal gym and three-plus-car garage provide space for hobbies and recreation. Beyond the home, established gardens feature mature fig, apple and plum trees, full-property irrigation and exterior lighting. Gated and exceptionally private, the grounds offer a peaceful setting. Elegant and welcoming, this is a home designed for gathering with family and friends, where the setting is every bit as special as the residence itself. Just minutes from the airport, BC Ferries and the shops, restaurants and amenities of Sidney. A truly exceptional opportunity to experience West Coast waterfront living. Bonus development opportunity as the lot can be subdivided.
