1206 Mckenzie Dr

This has been a wonderful home in what we believe is the best neighbourhood on Vancouver Island. Maple Bay is something special, and leaving it is genuinely hard. But work is taking our family elsewhere, and our loss is your gain.

1206 McKenzie Drive sits above the Cowichan Valley with unobstructed panoramic views of Mt. Prevost, Maple Mountain, and Lake Quamichan from the living room, kitchen, and an expansive upper deck. Private, gated, and quiet, with spectacular flowering gardens and three flat, usable yard spaces on a fully irrigated 0.41-acre lot.

The big ticket items are done and documented. Metal roof installed 2013. Heat pump 2009. Water heater replaced 2023. Hot tub heater and controller replaced 2025. Full PEX plumbing throughout. Recently serviced septic system. This is a house that has been maintained and invested in over many years, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in upgrades.

The interior reflects that investment. Hardwood floors throughout the upper level. Fresh paint in the foyer, living room, and kitchen. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and a fully remodeled ensuite with heated floors and a his and her vanity. New laminate flooring and new tile in the downstairs bathroom. An extensively renovated lower deck with in-deck hot tub, brand new heater and controller. Two dedicated storage rooms plus a cedar garden shed.

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2,912 sq ft, built 1991. Walking distance to Mt. Tzouhalem trails and Maple Bay Elementary. Minutes to Maple Bay Marina.

This is the kind of property people move to Vancouver Island hoping to find. We just wish we could stay.
