Description

Perched above the waters of Cowichan Bay, this spectacular ocean view property has been cherished by the same family for over 80 years. Set on 1.16 private acres, the lovingly maintained 4 bed, 2 bath home enjoys some of the finest views in the bay, framed by mature landscaping and manicured gardens. The entry opens into the entertainment-sized living room, where a large picture window captures the stunning ocean views. The kitchen flows through sliders to the partially covered east-facing deck. This is the perfect place for morning coffee, or enjoying the ever changing views. There is a charming detached 1,000 sq ft. 2 bedroom cottage with a loft, currently used as an office. The property is potentially sub-dividable and is ideally situated in a peaceful, highly sought after location. Nearby walking trails lead to Cross Roads Centre, or down to village marinas, shops & restaurants. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special family property in the heart of Cowichan Bay.

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.
