Private Mediterranean-Inspired Retreat
Discover this enchanting 1+ acre sanctuary tucked behind two gated entrances on peaceful Gabriola Island. This fully fenced property offers complete privacy with abundant gardens, raised beds, koi ponds, a tranquil water feature, and multiple outdoor sitting areas connected by tiled and bricked pathways.
Inside, vaulted ceilings, warm wood floors, two cozy propane fireplaces, and a comfortable layout create a bright, welcoming feel. Enjoy a gas (propane) stove, a secret mini wine cellar, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The spacious primary suite features a sitting room or office - both with garden views.
A heat pump with three heads, newer septic, two wells, three cisterns, and a detached garage with loft add peace of mind and flexibility. Relax under the grape arbour, tend your gardens, or simply savour the Mediterranean ambiance — this is island living at its best.
