Property Description

The Dream of Gabriola Island: Where Revenue Meets Romance 

Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of a coastal breeze, the scent of fresh ocean air, and the knowledge that your morning commute consists of walking down a beautiful wood staircase. Across the street, the beach awaits—less than a five-minute stroll from your front door. This isn’t just a home; it’s a lifestyle, a private sanctuary, and a thriving business all wrapped into one magnificent 5-acre Gabriola Island estate. 

The Ultimate Island Lifestyle (With a $90,000/Year Bonus) 

There is a distinct romance to running a boutique Bed & Breakfast—the joy of welcoming travelers, sharing the magic of the West Coast, and creating unforgettable memories for your guests. But the true beauty of this property? The current owners purpose-built it to ensure your passion project is also a lucrative powerhouse, generating $72,000+ per year in gross revenue. The cottage is rented for $2000/m making the total income over $90k/year 

Best of all, the business can be included with the sale, offering you a turn-key transition into island entrepreneurship. 

A Masterpiece of West Coast Design 

Spanning nearly 6,000 square feet, the main residence effortlessly balances grand entertainment spaces with intimate private quarters. It boasts a warm, inviting “lodge” aesthetic, rich with wood accents, soaring high ceilings, and an architectural grace that makes it feel just as cozy for two people as it does hosting a vibrant gathering of thirty. 

  • The Owner’s Sanctuary (Main Floor): Enjoy complete privacy and main-level living, designed to be your personal oasis away from the guest areas. 
  • The B&B Suite (Upper Level): Ascend the extra-wide staircase to find a dedicated guest haven. It features three sprawling bedrooms—each complete with its own private ensuite bathroom and dedicated deck—plus a central guest living room (with its own massive deck) and a convenient kitchenette. 
  • The Great Outdoors: With over 3,000 square feet of expansive decking, your living space effortlessly flows outside, overlooking manicured gardens, lush lawns, and an enchanting, pristine pond. 

The Detached Cottage: Space for Family or Future Dreams 

In addition to the main residence, the property features a charming detached cottage complete with a full basement. Whether you use it as a dedicated space for visiting family, an artist’s studio, or further rental potential, it provides incredible flexibility while maintaining the estate’s strict adherence to 100% privacy. 

The Hidden Gem: Pure island luxury means never worrying about your utilities. This estate boasts an exceptional well, producing soft, delicious water at an impressive 6 gallons per minute (gpm). 

Your Private Oasis Awaits 

Every square foot of this 5-acre retreat has been meticulously maintained to maximize privacy, functionality, and natural beauty. It’s time to trade the hustle of the city for the romance of the island, backed by a proven, established income stream.
