Property Description

Situated in the coveted seaside enclave of Cordova Bay, this custom-rebuilt executive home offers ocean and mountain views from all three levels. Set on a professionally landscaped quarter-acre, the property blends architectural intention with remarkable versatility — designed equally for elegant family living and multigenerational or large family use.

The main floor commands attention with soaring 15-foot vaulted ceilings and an expansive wall of windows framing sweeping views of the Salish Sea and Mount Baker. The open-concept kitchen features an oversized granite island with a bar sink, custom millwork storage, two wall ovens, and newer appliances. The adjoining family room, anchored by a gas fireplace, opens directly to a south and east-facing deck — over 870 square feet of outdoor living perfectly suited to entertaining, watching the ever-changing sunrise over the ocean, or pink cotton-candy skies at sunset.

The semi-open dining room overlooks lush gardens and the ocean beyond, with French glass doors opening directly to the wraparound deck. The formal living room, set behind its own French glass doors, offers a quieter, more intimate counterpoint to the open living spaces. Oak hardwood floors and a floating oak staircase carry through the entire main level.

The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor and offers its own fireplace, expansive windows, and French glass doors stepping out to the east-facing deck — a natural setting for morning coffee as the sun rises over the ocean. A generously sized ensuite, walk-in closet, and plumbing roughed in for an optional washer and dryer complete this private sanctuary.

The upper floor offers 925 versatile square feet anchored by a cathedral window with breathtaking ocean views. An updated three-piece bathroom with heated floors serves versatility to the space, while the current skylit closet — generous enough to function as an additional bedroom or office — makes this floor as adaptable as it is light-filled. Whether configured as a primary suite, a private office, or a guest retreat, the possibilities are genuinely endless.

The lower level has been recently renovated and the design is intentionally flexible: seamlessly connected to the main home for large-family living, or closed off entirely as self-contained quarters — a rare quality that allows the home to evolve alongside the people who live in it. Complete with a separate entrance, full kitchen with quartz countertops, open-concept living and dining, heat pump, in-suite laundry, and a four-piece bathroom. Two of the three bedrooms feature walk-out access to a private 894-square-foot patio and garden, both with ocean views.

Other features include a two-car garage, newer solar panels, a security system, an irrigation system, gas BBQ hookup on the upper deck. At 4,186 finished square feet across three levels, the home offers a rare combination of scale, quality, and flexibility.
Sitting directly on the Lochside and Galloping Goose trail systems, the property connects immediately to some of the finest walking and cycling routes in the region. Cordova Bay Golf Course, Matticks Farm Village, and several of Victoria's most scenic beaches are minutes away, while downtown Victoria, YYJ Airport, and BC Ferries are all within a 15-minute drive.

Area Description

Cordova Bay is one of Greater Victoria's most quietly distinguished communities — a seaside neighbourhood where natural beauty, an unhurried pace, and an exceptional quality of life converge. Bordered by the Salish Sea to the east, Mount Douglas Park to the south, Elk and Beaver Lake to the west, and the pastoral Hunt Valley equestrian farmlands to the north, it is a community defined as much by what surrounds it as by what lies within it. Yet for all its tranquility, downtown Victoria, YYJ Airport, and BC Ferries are each no more than 15 minutes away.
At its heart is Matticks Farm, Cordova Bay's beloved village hub. Here, the Red Barn Market draws locals for its exceptional local produce, hormone-free and house-smoked meats, artisan cheeses, and specialty provisions. The broader village is home to Pure Spa, Tall Tree Integrated Health, a garden centre, a pilates studio, Adrienne's Tea Garden for a leisurely lunch, and an eclectic mix of boutiques and an art gallery — everything one might need within a short walk of home.
The coastline is the neighbourhood's defining feature. Cordova Bay's beaches are among the finest in the region, with several well-loved access points along Cordova Bay Road. Parker Beach is a particular favourite in the warmer months. Two golf courses sit side by side nearby: the 18-hole Cordova Bay Golf Course and the 9-hole Ridge, both with impressive views of the bay.
To the south, Mount Douglas Park — known locally as Mount Doug and by its traditional name Pkols — provides year-round hiking across a network of trails, with a summit offering sweeping 360-degree views of the city, the ocean, and the surrounding mountains. Elk and Beaver Lake Regional Park to the west is a destination in its own right: a 10-kilometre trail encircles both lakes, with swimming areas at each, rowing and watersport programs. The Commonwealth Recreation Centre, also nearby, offers pools, fitness facilities, and an extensive program of lessons, camps, and community activities.
The neighbourhood sits directly on the Lochside Regional Trail and the Galloping Goose Trail system — connecting residents by foot or bicycle to a remarkable network of routes that extend across the region, to downtown and beyond (from Sooke to Sidney).
