Perched above a spectacular bend of the Koksilah River near Shawnigan Lake, this custom-built 2,278 sq. ft. home offers a rare opportunity to own a truly self-sufficient lifestyle property.
Completely re-built in 2010, this three-level home features 4 bedrooms plus a den, 4 bathrooms, and a separate loft suite,making it ideal for extended family, guests, or generating rental income.
Surrounded by miles of Crown land, this private acreage offers an exceptional sense of seclusion while remaining within commuting distance of Victoria. The crystal-clear Koksilah River, with its swimming holes, fishing, and scenic trails, is just across the quiet road.
Designed for comfortable year-round luxury off-grid living, the property has no power lines and no hydro bills. A new $50,000 solar power system is complemented by a newer 14 kW propane backup generator, providing dependable power in every season. An excellent clean 8 GPM drilled well, comprehensive water filtration system, rainwater harvesting, on-demand hot water, low property taxes, and true energy independence complete the package.
The home was thoughtfully designed to stay cool in summer and warm in winter, keeping operating costs low while maintaining year-round comfort.
Outside you'll find mature fruit trees, productive self watering passive gardens, fenced hobby farm areas, multiple outdoor living spaces, and plenty of room to enjoy the natural surroundings. A durable metal roof and quality construction reflect years of careful planning and maintenance. Also included is a partially constructed walipini (underground greenhouse)/pond project, offering exciting potential for year-round growing or further development.
Currently operating as a successful turnkey Airbnb, the property also includes a guest bunkie, two serviced RV sites, and plenty of space for family, friends, or additional income opportunities. Live on the property, manage guest stays yourself, and let the vacation rental income help offset your mortgage.
