This luxurious estate on a private 9.6 acres is defined by impeccable details, quality finishes and hi-tech convenience. Built in 1993, this stunning residence, comprising 3400 sq.ft. over three levels, is the result of an extensive renovation completed in 2003. Incredible sweeping views offer magical sunrises over Juan de Fuca Strait, and dramatic sunsets over Shawnigan Lake. Surrounded by tranquil natural beauty, yet only a 40 minute drive from downtown Victoria, this secluded retreat affords a superb quality of life.
Clean lined interiors, and a warm colour scheme serve as a tasteful compliment to the verdant surroundings, framing and enhancing nature without competing for attention. Inviting the outdoors in, large windows wash the home in light, creating an uplifting atmosphere, while custom wall treatments add depth and contrast. Classic Hunter Douglas shades allow for unimpeded views when drawn.
