luxury house with terrace for sale Nanaimo, Canada

Perched near the top of Gabriola Island, this stunning West Coast-style home captures sweeping southern views over the Gulf Islands and the shimmering channel beyond. A long, gracious driveway winds through 10 private acres to a lavender-ringed roundabout, setting a serene tone the moment you arrive. An inspiring artist's residence, the home pairs soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of glass with light-filled living spaces that open to expansive decks made for entertaining and unhurried island evenings. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, there's room for everyone, plus a separate guest suite with its own full kitchen, ideal for extended family, visitors, or income. Beyond the home, a dedicated art studio offers space to create, while a dormant berry orchard with its own well rounds out the grounds. Wake to soaring eagles, ocean breezes, and the quiet rhythm of life on the Isle of the Arts, yet stay connected: a short ferry ride from Nanaimo or a quick floatplane hop from downtown Vancouver or YVR.
