Description
Welcome to your private forest retreat on beautiful Vancouver Island. This extraordinary 4.86-acre estate offers the perfect blend of luxury, nature, and functionality-just minutes from the Nanaimo Airport and Duke Point ferry, and steps from stunning beaches ideal for kayaking and beachcombing. Nestled beside a protected old growth forest (Wildwood), the custom log home spans over 3,900+ sq ft and is surrounded by peaceful, natural beauty. A private lake winds through the property, featuring a charming pergola with a covered fireplace and a cascading waterfall. The estate is beautifully lit for evening strolls along custom garden paths or the private road circling the grounds. Outdoor highlights include a lakefront campsite with a built-in stone firepit and BBQ, a gardener's paradise of indigenous and exotic plants, an elevated rose garden, and multiple seating areas with lake views. There are 7 garages including drive-through and workshop-ready spaces, a 10x20 storage building, a large fenced dog area with custom 10x10 dog house, a well with dual 2,200-gallon cisterns, and designated farm status. The handcrafted log home features full round logs, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and hardwood floors. Inside, you'll find a granite-accented entry with custom double doors, an expansive living/dining space with Blaze King wood stove, and a chef's kitchen with solid maple cabinets, copper backsplash, large island, pass-through window, and walk-in pantry. There are four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with private patio, wood stove, dual walk-in closets, spa-inspired ensuite, and sitting room with clawfoot tub. Additional features include a loft bedroom with spiral staircase, private-entry bedroom with study, split full bath with antique vanities, and attic access. A detached carriage house includes a 1-bedroom suite with kitchen, laundry, wood stove, and a large lake-view deck-perfect for guests or rental income. A truly rare and versatile West Coast gem.
