This exceptional Oceanview estate offers 4.99 acres of natural beauty, equestrian infrastructure, and west coast charm just north of the iconic Boat Harbour. Tucked at the end of a quiet no-thru road, this architecturally designed residence promises a peaceful coastal lifestyle, with beach access just a short stroll away. Enjoy kayaking, shoreline walks, and wildlife viewing, home to resident otters, seals, and sea lions, with the occasional orca pod passing by.
The land is a blend of open and forested areas, featuring mature fir, cedar, oak, and maple trees, sunny meadows, a seasonal creek, and approx. 2 acres of woodland. A deer-fenced orchard includes fruit trees, herbs, and raised garden beds. The property is fully fenced with electric cross-fencing and includes a 70x100 riding ring, lunging area, and 40x24 custom 3-stall barn with lights, water, heated tack/tool room, and new metal roof. Two additional sheds and a pump house offer ample storage. Inside, the home combines rustic warmth with smart functionality. Wide plank pine floors, wood-sashed thermal windows, a striking stone fireplace, and a sunroom with wood-burning cookstove create a welcoming atmosphere. Ocean-facing patio doors and a west-facing cedar deck offer ideal indoor-outdoor flow. The flexible floor plan includes 4–5 bedrooms with an in-law suite, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 laundry areas, and a spacious mudroom. The suite has its own entrance and private deck but can be seamlessly integrated into the main home.
Efficient systems include an electric forced air heat pump, A/C, HRV, and backup electric heat. Water is supplied by a 150-ft deep well to a 1600-gallon cistern, supported by a 1200-gallon rainwater collection tank with sand filter and UV purification. A septic system with field is in place.
A rare blend of coastal charm, thoughtful infrastructure, and multi-use potential—just a short drive from town. A truly special place to call home!
