DESCRIPTION: Enchanting Nanoose Bay Oceanfront Retreat!
Resting on a scenic peninsula between Wall Beach
and
Northwest Bay, this stunning 4131 sq ft 4 Bed +
Bonus
Room/5 Bath Cape Cod–style home sits on a
spectacular
gated 4.83-acre estate. Surrounded by some of the
most beautiful scenery on Vancouver Island, the
property offers the ultimate in privacy and
tranquility—feeling light-years away from the
hustle
and bustle, yet only minutes from shopping,
dining,
and everyday amenities.
Featured in 'Style at Home' magazine and
beautifully styled by interior designer Nina
Hamilton of West Vancouver’s 'Napanee Design',
this
spectacular seaside home showcases elegant
finishes enhanced by organic accents of wood and
stone. Stylish architectural detailing, including
refined trim work and crown molding, complements
formal Living and Dining Rooms, while an abundance
of skylights and large windows fills the home with
natural light. A Bonus Room adds flexible space
for guests or recreation.
Perfectly positioned at the end of a spectacular
point, the property boasts 1200 feet of sandstone
oceanfront where you can enjoy picture-perfect
views
that include the Beachcomber Peninsula, the
timeless
Strait of Georgia, and Wall Beach, with Mount
Arrowsmith rising majestically in the distance.
A long entry drive winds through towering trees,
leading to a large parking area and this casually
refined home. The covered wrap-around veranda
features stone flooring that flows through a split
Dutch door into a grand two-storey foyer, where a
chandelier hangs above a raised ceiling recess
with a bright clerestory window.
Off the foyer, the elegant formal Living Room
features wainscoting, two walls of vertical
feature
windows, and an electric fireplace set on a
corbelled
rowlock brick hearth. Crown molding and rich
hardwood
flooring continue into the formal Dining Room,
featuring a coffered ceiling, three-quarter-height
wainscoting, a bay window with a cozy seat, and a
glass door that opens to the veranda.
A door from the Dining Room opens to a Butler’s
Pantry with a farmhouse sink and ample cupboards,
leading to a stylish Chef’s Kitchen complete with
abundant counter space, a central island with prep
sink, and extensive white custom cabinetry,
including an extended row of open shelving beneath
seven banked skylights. High-end appliances
include a 'Sub-Zero' fridge, Miele dishwasher,
dual Miele wall ovens, and a cooktop complement an
arched hood range. The Breakfast Nook is an
inviting space for casual dining, with an elegant
chandelier and two walls of windows with
clerestories above.
The Kitchen opens seamlessly to a Family Room,
where vertical shiplap walls and crown molding
frame a commanding stone fireplace with a beach-
inspired mantel. A wood-burning fireplace adds
warmth and ambiance, its cozy glow and subtle
scent enhancing the relaxed atmosphere of this
casual living space.
A folding glass wall system opens to a huge south-
facing Entertainer’s Deck with a pergola, offering
multiple outdoor living areas and a perfect spot
for
your BBQ, while forested views frame the
southwest-
facing outlook to Wall Beach. The expansive deck
is
ideal for morning coffees, summer barbecues, or
evening cocktails under the stars, inviting you to
relax and savor the fresh air and gentle sounds of
nature.
You're steps from the shoreline, where
the gentle lapping of the waves and the warm sun
create the perfect setting for peaceful
reflection. Slip into your kayak for an
unforgettable day exploring secluded beaches,
stretches of coastal rainforest, and the
breathtaking coastline of mid-eastern Vancouver
Island.
Off the Family Room, a hallway with a curved
built-in
bookshelf leads to a Study or Home Office
featuring a
custom built-in desk. Adjacent is a 2-piece Bath
with
a pedestal sink and crisp white subway-tiled
walls.
Double doors open to a spacious Primary Bedroom
Suite, offering the feel of a luxurious hotel
retreat. French doors provide access to the
veranda,
while a generous walk-in closet with built-ins and
a
5-piece spa ensuite—complete with a dual sink
vanity,
stand-alone soaker tub, and a large walk-in steam
shower—ensure you feel truly pampered.
Nearby, an extended Laundry Room features a flat-
bottom utility sink and abundant cupboards and
shelving, with random flagstone flooring that
flows into a delightful Gallery Hallway. Crowned
by four skylights, with monolithic benches and
feature lighting, the hallway provides a beautiful
space to showcase treasured art pieces and
collectibles, and also includes a door with access
to the Double-Car Garage.
A stairway leads to a spacious upper-level Bonus
Room, featuring vaulted ceilings, a 3-piece Bath
with a shower, and a small kitchenette with sink,
cupboards, and ocean views for snacks or light
meals. Bright and versatile, this private flex
space is perfect for hosting out-of-town guests,
extended family, or a live-in caregiver, and could
also serve as an inspiring space for crafts and
hobbies.
From the foyer, a curved ornamental staircase
sweeps to an upper level landing with dual
skylights. At one end, a Second Bedroom features a
Murphy Bed and a full 5-piece ensuite with dual
pedestal sinks, a clawfoot soaker tub, and a
separate shower. At the opposite end, the Third
and Fourth Bedrooms share a 3-piece Bath with a
shower, creating a well-appointed and functional
upper-level layout.
Among the superb extra features are a security
system, plus smoke detectors, motion, smoke, and
heat sensors throughout. A rainwater run-off
system directs water to the sea, and comfort is
ensured with a 'Rheem' furnace and heat pump
(replaced in 2019), offering economical heat in
the wintertime and refreshing air conditioning all
summer long. In addition, the deck was replaced in
2019 and window frames were repainted the same
year.
The beautifully forested 4.83-acre estate is a
private paradise featuring towering arbutus, fir,
cedar, and aspen trees. Enjoy a bocce court and
Rec
Room, or follow a trail to explore the property.
While enjoying a serene and secluded setting, the
home is just minutes from Fairwinds’ world-class
golf
course, Fairwinds Landing with its restaurant and
marina, and Red Gap Shopping Plaza with Quality
Foods
and Cascadia Liquor. The charming Village Center
at
Qualicum Beach is just 20 minutes away, while
North

stores are only a 25-minute drive.
