Description

Set high on Gabriola Island, this private 10-acre West Coast retreat is defined by expansive southern ocean, Gulf Island and mountain views. A winding forested driveway leads to the elevated residence and its remarkable outlook. Vaulted ceilings and walls of glass frame the scenery, while light-filled living areas open to generous decks. The approx. 2,926 sq.ft. home offers 4 beds & 4 baths, with 3 beds upstairs and a private 1-bed in-law accommodation with a 2nd kitchen - ideal for extended family, guests, caregiver, housekeeper or on-site support. The land features mature woodland, a former berry orchard and substantial cleared area with potential for gardens, small-scale farming, equestrian use or future shop/barn, subject to zoning, servicing, permits & buyer verification. Attached double garage offers workshop, studio or hobby potential. A private, versatile acreage offering exceptional views, space and connection to the land. (id:63159)
