Description

Welcome to Sentinel Ridge in Mill Bay — a stunning luxury custom-built home in the sought-after Sentinel Ridge community of Mill Bay, BC. Offering unobstructed, panoramic ocean and island views across Saanich Inlet to Salt Spring Island, this 5,000+ sq ft executive residence represents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey architectural statement on Vancouver Island’s coveted east coast. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking, 180-degree southwest-facing ocean views that shift with the light from sunrise to sunset. The heart of the home is a gourmet chef’s kitchen designed for entertaining: professional-grade appliances, striking custom red cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops, and two pantries for effortless hosting at any scale. Open-plan principal rooms flow naturally to living and dining areas, ideal for large-scale entertaining or intimate family living. Distinctive design features include a bespoke lucite staircase, custom architectural steel railings, and the signature illusion floor that deliver a level of craftsmanship consistent with high-end custom homes. Downstairs boasts ground-level walkout living with views, bedrooms, kitchenette, and a fully appointed recreation and media room with sliding wall panels. This offers adaptable space for a home theatre, gym, games room, or guest suite — the kind of multi-use flexibility growing families and remote professionals demand. Future-proofed with a rooftop solar energy system, two new high-efficiency heat pumps, and an HRV system, this home is built for low operating costs and BC Hydro bill savings. Great value for the environmentally conscious luxury buyer. The fully fenced, professionally landscaped yard with in-ground irrigation and a secluded hot tub creates a private, low-maintenance outdoor retreat. A triple-car garage, RV and boat parking, and easy access to the Trans-Canada Highway, Mill Bay Ferry, and 30 minutes to Victoria make this as practical as it is beautiful. (id:63159)

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.
