Along the water’s edge on Silver Spray Drive in Capital, BC, this oceanfront estate unfolds across a private, treed peninsula with a pocket beach and its own scenic island.

Beach-side decks and a cabana sit front row to the water. Tucked seaside, a 1,300-square-foot cavern offers intriguing flexibility, with the potential to accommodate a guest house, connect to a future dream home, or be subdivided into its own lot.
