Paradise is found in this beautiful waterfront oasis on Lake Cowichan. The off-grid cabin-style home on 0.71 acre was built in 2007 with attention to character and function while remaining low-impact on the incredible natural environment. The A-frame design makes great use of space with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, huge loft, fully equipped kitchen and living area. Vaulted ceilings create space and airiness while the wall of windows floods the home with natural light and brings in the breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. Wood floors and trim sourced from a local Island mill offer a rich and rustic atmosphere. Soak in the tranquil surroundings on the south facing deck, take a swim off the dock or private beach, and gather around the fire pits under the stars. Solar panels and backup generators provide power to the cabin while Starlink satellite keeps you connected. A perfect family retreat for lasting memories and an ideal vacation rental on one Vancouver Island’s most desirable lakes.

Beautiful new construction on 0.49 acre overlooking Nanoose Bay. Designed with style and function in mind, this main-level entry home features 9-ft ceilings, quartz countertops, on-demand hot water, efficient heat pump, and a spacious 2 bedroom legal suite with large windows to bring in the natural light. With 3 bedrooms on the main, the primary suite includes a contemporary 5pc ensuite and walk-in closet. The open floor plan extends onto a glass-rail deck with ocean views, partial while the leaves are on the trees and big views when the trees are bare. The upper rear yard is fenced while the lower section of the property remains wild and ready for ideas. Outside access to a huge storage and utility room could offer options for a flex space – ping pong anyone??!! Sitting just above the Island Hwy, reap the benefits of easy access to Nanaimo’s amenities or Parksville’s beautiful beaches, only minutes to Winchelsea Golf Course and Nanoose's Red Gap shopping and biking/hiking trails.
