This exceptionally sunny and private residence is on five low-maintenance acres on a quiet cul-de-sac in Rural Saanich a few minutes from Broadmead Village and just eighteen minutes from downtown Victoria. The house itself is on the highest point to make the most of the sunshine and the expansive views. It is surrounded by other large natural properties and fifty acres of protected parkland with many trails, and yet it's within easy reach of shops, restaurants, the ferries, and the airport.

In recent years, almost everything has been updated, improved, replaced, or renovated to a high standard and with an eye for detail. The result is a warm, comfortable home which is tasteful, timeless, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient.

Recent work includes new windows, Hardie siding, steel roofing, hardwood flooring, custom kitchen in cherry, updated bathrooms and laundry room, fully ducted heat pumps on both levels, and high-efficiency wood-burning fireplaces. The septic field and well and water treatment plant have been renewed too. The entrance terrace and numerous decks have seasonal screens to provide shade and exclude insects.

The house is complemented by a double garage, a 1,148 square foot workshop (11' height) with its own 200 amp supply, a 339 square foot studio/workshop, and various garden and wood sheds. There's even a single-family dog kennel. These offer endless opportunities for hobbies, home businesses, classic cars, and other interests.

Coming home from the noise and bustle of urban life to a hill-top retreat bathed in sunshine and surrounded by arbutus, wildlife, and wild flowers is solace for the soul. If you value space, privacy and tranquility, and glorious views of each sunrise and sunset, this may be the sanctuary you have been looking for. Please note that this is not an agricultural or horse property and is not in the ALR.
