The two-year-old, high-end residence was built for modern comfort, with a sleek kitchen featuring high-end appliances, heated tile floors throughout, central air conditioning, and a back-up electric furnace. In the ensuite, a copper bathtub, his-and-her copper basins, and a large open walk-in tiled shower bring a distinctive, spa-minded finish to daily routines. Equally considered are the outbuildings: a 40′ x 50′ modern barn with six paddocks, a heated office/tack room, rubber flooring, and hot-and-cold running water, plus separate corrals and an outdoor riding arena. A massive heated and air-conditioned 40′ x 50′ shop with 14′ high-powered doors rounds out a setting designed to work beautifully year-round.

MOTT-approved access off Cowichan Lake Road is already in place, with some RAR and work with CVRD completed, and roads partially constructed—practical groundwork that can help streamline next steps. The setting is described as sunny and warm, with a gentle south-facing aspect that lends itself to everyday enjoyment as much as long-term planning, including stated vineyard potential.
