🌊 GABRIOLA ISLAND WATERFRONT ESTATE 🌊

Some properties are measured in square footage.

Others are measured in moments.

✨ Watching orcas pass by from your deck.
✨ Picking fresh fruit from your orchard.
✨ Walking your private path to a secluded beach below.
✨ Experiencing the magical "Moon Over Valdez" rise across the water.
✨ Enjoying complete peace, yet being only 20 minutes from Nanaimo by ferry.

Welcome to a truly extraordinary oceanfront estate on Gabriola Island's warm, sheltered and sunny shoreline.

🏡 6,000+ sq ft of finished living space
🌊 Approx. 170 ft of waterfront
🌳 2.5 private acres
🛏️ 5 bedrooms + office
🛁 5 bathrooms
🚗 Attached garage + 1,037 sq ft drive-in shop
🚜 1,872 sq ft 3-bay pole shed
🏖️ Beach access via private stairs & drawbridge
🏊 Heated swim spa & sauna
🔥 2 woodstoves + 2 heat pumps
💧 16,000-gallon cistern + additional 4,000 garden water system

Inside, soaring post & beam architecture, 26 skylights, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and expansive picture windows frame spectacular marine views from nearly every room.

Outside, the experience is even more remarkable.

Watch eagles soar overhead. Spot passing yachts, tugboats and the occasional pod of whales. Wander forest trails, visit nearby petroglyphs, or spend the afternoon exploring your own stretch of shoreline. The stars shine brighter here, the pace slows down, and every day feels connected to nature. ✨🌙

This isn't just a waterfront home.

It's a legacy property.
A family retreat.
A place where memories are made for generations.

~ Gorgeous 6000+ sq ft 2.5 acre Gabriola waterfront sanctuary ~

Situated on arguably the warmest area of Gabriola, in a bay sheltered by Valdez Island, Ruxton Island & Mudge Islands. Yachts moore here, boats tow skiiers, kayakers love it & so do dolphins, whales, eagles & killer whales.

Paved road to privately gated stone entry with 7 vehicle parking in a huge, open front courtyard.

6,643 sq ft, thoughtfully designed, post-and-beam architecture, walls of glass, 26 skylights & views from all rooms that matter. 3 upstairs bedrooms with their own ensuites in the west wing. The lower level is plumbed & wired for a 2 bedroom suite.

Swim spa & sauna, in house 1150 sq ft drive-in shop, irrigated garden, huge 3 bay pole shed, 20,000 roof collected treated water systems, 400 amps of power & 8 second delay until a generator powers the house during storms. Every detail has been considered.

The moon rises over Valdez Island have been written about in kayaking magazines. The ocean view here was used for main marketing for Gabriola for years & the same owner has bought this home twice!

Parkland to one side & direct stairs to the beach with retractable pulley system staircase maintains privacy & protects from high tides.

Only 20 minutes from Nanaimo by ferry. 16 trips a day.

This is more than a waterfront home. It's a legacy property.

COMING SOON | GABRIOLA ISLAND WATERFRONT

There are homes that offer luxury.

And then there are homes that offer a completely different way of life.

Hidden behind private gates on 2.5 beautifully landscaped acres, this extraordinary waterfront estate was designed for those who value privacy, craftsmanship, and the rare luxury of space.

Over 6,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living unfolds beneath soaring post-and-beam architecture, walls of glass, and 26 skylights that invite the outdoors in. Wake to ocean views, spend afternoons in the swim spa or sauna, and watch the moon rise over Valdez Island from your patio as yachts rest peacefully offshore.

With five bedrooms, a private office, multiple garages, beach access, stunning gardens, and self-sustaining systems designed for effortless island living, every detail has been considered.

Perhaps most remarkable is how removed it feels from the world—yet you're only 20 minutes from Nanaimo by ferry.

This is more than a waterfront home.

It's a legacy property.
A private retreat.
A place where generations will gather and memories will be made.

Coming Soon.
