Famed Marine Architect, Bill Garden, lived on this Island for several years...now it can be your recreational retreat! Looking for a private island, that offers many amenities (power connected from nearby Vancouver Island), just mere minutes from protected Canoe Cove (a private marina), and yet with all the allure and privacy of your own serene world? Here it is! The very appealing country home, totally snug and ship/shape, enjoys the resonance of an English Country seaside retreat...custom cottage style windows, wood floors, stone feature fireplace in dramatic living, and stairs to the upper level master/sitting with fitted cupboards and ensuite...offering a "loft privacy" master "wing", plus entrancing ocean, islands, mountain vistas (see the Olympics from this south exposure viewscape). Large entry/foyer offers cosy seating and woodstove to enjoy on winter evenings. Country kitchen with oceanview solarium off...perfect retreat for afternoon tea! Spacious design studio, between kitchen and living room, would be a perfect formal dining room, if desired. Currently, dining is sited adjacent to French doors leading off expansive living room, onto generous Oceanside deck.
