This stunning ocean property, a mere 15-minute drive from Sooke's amenities, spreads over 4.8 acres of pristine west coast paradise. Guarded by an elegant 8-foot-high cedar fence, it offers two entrances, one suitable for regular vehicles and the other for larger ones like motorhomes or maintenance vehicles. Adding to its security, a 7-foot-high black wired fence lines the upper property perimeter. As you enter, a picturesque driveway meanders through a lush cedar and Douglas fir forest, leading to a meticulously landscaped yard. Here, a recently installed world-class tennis and pickleball court, a state-of-the-art greenhouse with sea views, and a 3,000 square foot insulated garage greet you. The greenhouse is a gardener's dream, equipped with humidity and heat controls, automated ventilation, and plumbing for customized watering. Meanwhile, the garage is a versatile space, currently serving as an indoor garage, pickleball court, and multi-use workshop, complete with its own washroom, shower, laundry, and industrial sink. Underneath the utility room lies an inground water management system with a surplus 15,000-gallon automated cistern, ensuring a continuous water supply. The property also features BC Hydro's main line buried under the driveway and a 1,000-gallon propane tank fueling a highly integrated Cummins generator for backup power. Descending the 220-step geo-teched stairway through a lush canopy of flora takes you to the wild west coast pebbled beach. Here, you can stroll for kilometers, observing sea otters, seals, sea lions, and a variety of seabirds. The stairway's rest stops also serve as outdoor Pilates or yoga studios, making fitness part of the natural scenery. The main home boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with large ocean and garden view rooms providing perfect canvases for personalization. The master bedroom features a jacuzzi tub and private ocean view balconies. Heating and cooling are managed through heat pumps and a wood-burning stove, ensuring comfort year-round. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows offer breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and the Juan De Fuca Strait, making indoor living feel connected to the outdoors. Evenings can be spent watching sunsets over the mountains from the fire pit while listening to the ocean's soothing melody. This property epitomizes luxury living immersed in natural beauty, offering a serene lifestyle on the edge of civilization. Whether you're enjoying the amenities or exploring the untamed coastline, every moment here is an opportunity to connect with nature and savor life's simple pleasures.
