Trophy Oceanfront Estate

The Location

The District of North Saanich, located in one of the most desirable regions of Vancouver Island, is a perfect blend of rural and residential areas surrounded on three sides by 20 km of waterfront shoreline. This virtually unspoiled area is the focal point of some exceptional waterfront properties, as they enjoy sublime West Coast scenery which most people can only admire in upscale magazines.

Several distinct features make North Saanich an ideal place to own a waterfront property: warm sandy beaches, close proximity to ferries and the Victoria International Airport, and the nearby delightfully quaint town of Sidney which can satisfy all of your financial or daily necessities. But how many waterfront homes can be within a few minutes’ drive of one of the finest gourmet restaurants on the West Coast, as well as first-class marinas and an excellent floatplane service with regular flights to Vancouver or Washington?

The Property

Very few waterfront properties are blessed with large parcels of land, while others are so close to each other they are separated by only several meters; most of these lovely properties can be seen from the road, or from neighbours’ windows, despite hedges and fences. This particular property, on the other hand, is one of those special, private waterfront properties which come on the market just once in a lifetime. This marvelous estate is not only at the end of an unassuming, quiet dead end road, it is additionally situated down a totally separate, private road, whose entrance is flanked by two stone gate posts.

Along this concealed spur road, which branches in two directions, and is virtually hidden from view behind thick groves of firs, hemlocks, and spruce trees, a few choice residences on large tracts of land are sequestered from the road behind thickets of natural growth and hundred-year-plus old growth Douglas Firs. This is a special, hushed area which to some emanates a mystical significance. Driving down the private road, you feel you are in a totally different world where residents cherish their privacy and respect each other’s seclusion, at the same time sharing a mutual interest in maintaining this magical enclosure of properties in its natural state.

The Residence

There are 20 apple, 4 pear, and 4 plum trees, mere steps away from the kitchen – so convenient for you just to nip out and gather the freshest fruit for breakfast or a mouth-watering homemade apple pie.

The entrance to the property, from the private lane, is bordered on the inside left by towering old growth firs and your own meandering seasonal creek providing a lovely, tranquil trickle of water similar to that produced by a kakehi or even a rain chain, a perfect natural, soothing accompaniment to a peaceful night’s sleep. And as you come closer to the main house, you see on the left a completely self-contained cottage. Between the cottage and the residence is an amazing mini new growth orchard comprising 28 fruit-bearing trees, originally from Le Coteau Farms.

Enter the courtyard through a honeysuckle arbour and experience the abundance of wisteria, and exotic plants and shrubs such as nishiki as you cross the paving stones to the lovely front door bounded by symmetrical windows. You can see directly through the home to views of the water on the other side. The spacious, tiled foyer illuminated by a pair of wrought iron, heavy lantern-style lamps has three egresses: to the right, a doorway to a patio and the breezeway, to the left, a hallway leading to the dining room, and straight ahead the great room.

This is a great room straight out of a James Bond alpine lodge. The vaulted beamed ceiling, distressed oak floors, and the rugged rock fireplace which extends across ¾ of the wall, generating even heat during the winter, present a romantic, sophisticated ambiance. Cocktails anyone? The ocean view through the windows is one of the finest in the world: tranquil waters extending across the beach to the distant shores.

Living & Dining

To the left of the foyer, the dining room enjoys yet another wood burning fireplace, this time with brick fascia and hearth; a five-lamp baronial chandelier of blackened hammered steel graces the dining table, while your guests enjoy the most beautiful water views imaginable. Massive wooden beams and supports provide a feeling of solidity to the kitchen-dining room complex, while sliding doors lead to a generous view patio.

Gourmet Kitchen

Further left, the gourmet chef enjoys an amazing water view above the double sink; maple cabinets provide a warm glow to the top of the line appliances: Kitchenaid cook top, dishwasher, and Superba convection oven. Onyx granite countertops with tumbled marble backsplash, pullout pantry, vegetable prep sink, wine storage, and multiple track lighting and ceiling fan achieve an air of luxury and practicality. This is a kitchen designed by a gourmet chef, whose attention to detail even includes an exceptionally easy-access storage space for spices.

There is a wonderful spacious feeling to this open concept living arrangement, accentuated by wide hallways and flexible living space.

Soft colours and warm designer grass wallpaper and extensive use of wood add to the impression that despite its exclusive location, this is not so much a “display” home, as a home to live in.

Laundry & Garage

Adjacent to the tiled, two-piece powder room with ample storage is the highly unique laundry room. Accessed through a Dutch door, and flooded with masses of natural light through the huge faux leaded glass windows, this laundry room enjoys long countertops, vast amounts of storage for linens and towels behind triple sections of louvered doors, a Kenmore energy star washer and dryer duo, and sliding doors which lead out to the patio bursting with lovely plants and ornamental flowering shrubs.

One door leads to the garage, a paragon of design with storage mezzanine and complete workshop, and the other to a hallway which takes you to the master suite.

Master Suite

Featuring bucolic views of birches and conifers, where home and natural soundings meet, and a superb fireplace and cedar plank ceilings, this master bedroom is everything you are looking for in comfort and luxury.

The ensuite showcases an elegant soaker tub with faux marble steps and ledge surround, beautiful designer wallpaper featuring oriental blossoms and bamboo trellises, an artistically designed mirror with etched bamboo motif above the countertop, a separate faux marble shower enclosure, and an amazing walk-in closet-dressing room with a full length window.

Guest Bedrooms

Further down the hall, you will find a spacious guest bedroom with warm laminate floor, sylvan scenes from the window and a huge double closet, a bathroom with a sit down steam shower, featuring a blue tiled designer counter with blue tiled backsplash, and lovely tiled floor.

A third bedroom with elegant finishing details shares the same bathroom, and enjoys amazing views of woodland scenes.

Studio Cottage

Although this superior home is ideally suited to one-floor living, there is also a semi-finished downstairs area with workshop, bicycle room, and living room/ rec room with a floor-to ceiling fireplace, an ideal location for a games room or home theatre.

Two fully insulated, legal all-weather cottages on the property - one a studio suite, the other a completely self-contained residence - afford both additional accommodation and lucrative sources of supplementary income. The first is attached via a breezeway to the house proper, designating it a “room and board” dwelling. With a lovely ocean-view deck, this cottage enjoys a kitchenette with microwave/convection oven as well as a complete bathroom and delightful living space including a uniquely designed sleeping area, all kept beautifully warm in winter with an Oulette heating system.

One-Bedroom Cottage

The self-contained cottage, richly enhanced throughout by the use of designer quality woods, features a superb corner gas fireplace and kitchen with Kitchenaid appliances, a full bathroom, an amazing laundry room with Frigidaire Gallery series washer and dryer, a spacious bedroom, and a sun deck with contours reflecting the property’s topography.

Cottage Bed & Bath

This highly versatile living space (artist’s dream studio, home office, residence) is ideally located next to the delightful stream which traverses the property, yet is at a discreet distance from the main residence.

Stunning Views

This is a one-of-a-kind property, a beautifully appointed residence with exceptional quality finishing throughout. The property itself offers total privacy in a natural setting, complete with two cottages, and a private low bank sandy/pebble beach. Relax by the ocean side and soak up the last rays of the setting sun as it reflects off the serene water, while enjoying the backdrop of otters and sea birds softly calling across the gently rippling water. This property is without question a once in a lifetime opportunity.
