Description

Owl’s Landing is a multiple award-winning, fully rebuilt and expanded 11-acre gated estate completed in 2025 by White Wolf Homes, recognized with CARE Awards including Best Renovation over $1.5M and Best Designer Kitchen. Extensively taken to the studs and reimagined throughout, the residence offers approximately 13,000 sq ft of finished living space with all systems, finishes, and infrastructure newly completed. A grand arrival unfolds through a covered porte-cochère to custom 12-foot entry doors and a dramatic foyer with 20-foot ceilings, anchored by an antique Schonbek chandelier. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features a spa with sauna, theatre and games room, a resort-style pool with tennis and basketball courts, and a refined primary suite with a full dressing room and a Ritz-Carlton Paris inspired ensuite. A private suite above the garage, oversized three-bay garage, and barn or workshop add flexibility across the usable acreage. The setting offers the rare ability to live privately without sacrificing access, just 15 minutes to downtown Victoria, 25 minutes to the airport and ferries, and within close reach of some of the country’s top private schools, all supported by direct routes that bypass typical congestion.

Transit

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
