Property Description

Immerse yourself in the ultimate Gulf Island lifestyle at this 3,150 square foot sanctuary, gracefully positioned on 1.51 acres of iconic south-east-facing sandstone shoreline. Framed by native Arbutus and towering fir trees, this custom 2015-built residence employs a robust concrete moment frame and high-gauge metal roof, engineered to endure and harmonize with the coastal elements.

The estate is ingeniously divided into three living "pods." Inside the 2,400 square foot main residence, custom eight foot solid doors reveal a breathtaking gallery of space. Polished concrete floors—warmed by a propane hydronic boiler system—flow beneath custom clear cedar ceilings. The open-concept great room is anchored by massive commercial windows, offering sun-drenched views of the Salish Sea and Mount Baker. The chef’s kitchen is equipped to feast, featuring a Miele dual-energy stove, an under-sink reverse osmosis system, and exquisite Bocci light fixtures. Warmed by an elegant linear fireplace, the primary bedroom features an expansive five-piece ensuite with soaker tub and shower.

Seamlessly transition outdoors to the expansive patio, complete with a built-in outdoor kitchen and concrete fire bowl. The perfect setting for twilight dining with eagles soaring overhead and sea lions and orcas navigating the waters below.

Privacy and convenience are paramount here. The property features a fully appointed 470 square foot casita with a three-piece bath, attached to a 500 square foot double garage, alongside a separate 260 square foot bunk pod. Every detail is curated for uncompromising luxury, including an advanced eco-mix UV water filtration system, an HRV ventilation system, two drilled wells, and an expansive driveway suitable for boats and RVs.

Though this refuge feels worlds away, the conveniences of the Sturdies Bay ferry terminal and “downtown” Galiano are just a picturesque walk from your driveway. No car required! This is more than a home; it is a legacy island retreat.
