The great room centers on a stylish fireplace, balancing drama with everyday comfort, and opens seamlessly to a covered view deck made for morning coffee or sunset evenings. In the kitchen, sleek high-gloss cabinetry pairs with Dekton counters and premium appliances, including a double-drawer dishwasher. The primary suite remains a quiet retreat, with lake views, a spa-like ensuite with heated floors, and an impressive walk-in closet. Downstairs, a spacious family room and wet bar/games area lead to a covered lake-view patio, alongside a glass-enclosed gym, full bath with heated floors, and three additional bedrooms. Fully landscaped grounds, a triple garage with epoxy flooring, and access to the Lake Club and walking trails round out daily life.

Along the water’s edge in Jordan River, this off-grid landholding on Vancouver Island offers an expansive coastal landscape overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

A mild climate and abundant natural resources support a self-sufficient way of life, with ample room for solar power, water systems, gardens, and low-impact structures suited to a private homestead, eco-retreat, or long-term land investment. Off-grid living here calls for thoughtful water and infrastructure planning, rewarded by scale, privacy, and a daily horizon that keeps life intentionally focused.

Outside, curated rock gardens and mature plantings—rhododendrons, dogwoods, camellias, perennials, and palm trees—surround an expansive deck and patio designed for all-day sun. A private pathway leads to approximately 120 feet of ocean frontage, with a covered carport, a detached two-bay garage/workshop, and ample additional parking completing the experience.
