Description

Breath taking Ocean Views!! Welcome to the crown jewel of Cordova Bay… where timeless European elegance meets the stunning natural beauty of Vancouver Island. For the very first time, this cherished family estate is being offered to the market. Lovingly built and maintained by its original Italian owners, every corner of this home radiates pride, craftsmanship, and care.

Inside, nearly 3,000 square feet of classic design invites you to gather around cozy fireplaces, entertain in elegant spaces, and create your own legacy within these walls. Outside, over 1,000 sqft of patios, koi ponds, and lush landscaping create a tranquil, resort-like retreat—set atop a peaceful hill that offers unmatched serenity and privacy. This isn’t just a home. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Cordova Bay’s soul—gracefully elevated, and rich with story. (id:63159)

Amenities

3/9 categories nearby

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.
