The 5.27 acre property is beautifully landscaped with plush lawns, flowers, mature apple and peach trees, grape vines ornamental cherry and plum. The entire grounds are irrigated by a new $30,000 watering system which including a 4500 gallon water tank. This fully automated golf course grade irrigation system is housed in a separate 2 car garage, with ample space for lawn & garden, boat or travel trailer storage.

View of the main house and garage from the west lawn. Adjacent to the house is a separate 3 car carriage house with the third bay having 220 amps which we used as our metal and woodworking studio.

View looking north to the coast mountains. The hand-built cedar gazebo, with shake roof, doubles as an arbour for the grape vines. The perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset. We custom built this cedar playhouse, complete with a hand-cut shake roof, swings and slide. It's a popular place for the kids and grandchildren to enjoy the afternoon. From the upper-deck of the playhouse, they can watch the eagles nest in the nearby trees and listen to the Sea-Lions down at the beach.

The guest cabin and vegetable garden. Guests enjoy the tranquility and privacy of the log cottage with natural sod roof, wood-stove & organic vegetable garden nestled beside it. The ocean views, sunrises and sunsets from the living room of the cottage, are spectacular.

Bricked front courtyard & back yard patio with connecting pathways, enhance the property providing ample area for relaxed outdoor living.

Beautiful fall color and rainbow over the straight. A gate through the picket fence leads to a meandering nature trail, down to the beach through the gorgeous canopy of old growth trees. You see what a perfect compliment it is to this very serene and peaceful property, when you head down to the ocean for a dip and a picnic, or a kayak adventure, while enjoying the myriad of life on your own private beach.

Downstairs living room, the perfect size to create warmth and coziness with hardwood floors, river rock fireplace and massive, exposed beam vaulted ceiling. Views looking out over the north lawn to the ocean and coastal mountain views.

Dining room with afternoon light falling through the windows. Dining room table filled with fall bounty from the apple harvest from one tree. This is our favorite place to be in the entire house. You can practically reach out the breakfast nook window and pick an apple from one of the trees.

Kitchen with natural wood cabinets.

The master suite takes up the whole upstairs and has stunning ocean views. It includes a separate office area, large bedroom, 5 piece en-suite & huge walk-in closet.

We just renovated this beautifully tiled, 5-piece en-suite, with jetted spa tub. Beautiful views of the property front lawns and gardens.

Just next to the second bedroom on the main floor, is this 4-Piece Bathroom, with re-furbished antique claw-foot tub and shower. The natural light in this room makes it a very soothing place for a relaxing soak after a long day.

The large family room is a great place to visit with family and friends or relax and enjoy a movie on the built in movie screen.

The entire upper level above the garage is dedicated to a 940 sq. ft. bonus room. This room is an amazing space, with the versatility of being a bedroom suite, an office, entertainment room, or gym. The light in here is spectacular, making it perfect for a painting studio or sewing & crafts room.

View of the islands and the Straight of Georgia at sunset. Our eagle tree in the foreground is often home to entire families of eagles, drying their wings between fishing trips to the ocean. The area is rich with a variety of wildlife, we commonly see eagles and deer all year around and sea lions arrive in the late winter and early spring.

Eagles are frequent visitors and often perch in one of the tall trees on the front of property.
