Property Description
One-of-a-Kind Waterfront Masterpiece – Mid-Century Elegance Meets Island Serenity on Gabriola
Welcome to an extraordinary custom-designed waterfront escape —a true architectural gem nestled on one of the most coveted lots on Gabriola Island. Thoughtfully crafted in 2005, this home blends mid-century modern style with timeless West Coast charm, offering a serene retreat where luxury and nature coexist in perfect harmony.
Exceptional Design & Craftsmanship
From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, wide hallways, and walls of glass that bathe the home in natural light and frame breathtaking ocean views. The design offers an effortless flow, with an open-concept kitchen and dining room (complete with a cozy fireplace), leading down to an unbelievable living room wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides. Here, you’ll be captivated by sunset views to the west-northwest and a walk-on waterfront setting featuring sandy bottom shores mixed with sandstone outcroppings—a rare and enchanting coastal landscape.
Refined Features & Premium Comforts
The 2,500 sq ft single-level home boasts 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, anchored by a private primary suite in its own wing. A generous breezeway surrounds a tranquil courtyard, connecting the living spaces with elegant ease.
No detail has been overlooked—high-end stainless steel appliances, including a 5-burner gas stove and double oven, make the kitchen a chef’s dream. Three fireplaces (2 gas, 1 wood-burning) offer cozy ambiance year-round, while “Euro” tilt-and-turn windows and doors throughout allow for fresh sea breezes and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Modern Infrastructure, Built for Ease
Enjoy peace of mind with two hot water tanks, automatic generator hookup, and a 20,000-gallon water cistern. The standing seam metal roof with hidden gutters, underground wiring for a future studio, and a newer septic system ensure longevity and easy maintenance. A detached garage with workshop area provides additional functionality, while low-maintenance gardens, custom rockwork, and multiple seating areas create a resort-like feel outdoors.
Prime Location, Unmatched Views
This property’s .41-acre lot gently slopes from the road to the beach, offering ultimate privacy and a connection to the ocean that is truly second to none. It’s no wonder an old cottage once stood here for generations—this is undeniably one of Gabriola’s finest waterfront settings.
Truly a ‘Must-See’ Property
Meticulously maintained and move-in ready, this exceptional home offers carefree luxury, unmatched views, and timeless design. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful island retreat or a stunning full-time residence, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise.
