Rare! Hank Schubart designed home set on 23 pristine, private acres above Cowichan Bay, offering sweeping ocean, valley, and mountain views from nearly every room. Deep overhangs float above walls of glass, and low rooflines trace the land's contours, as if the house grew straight out of the hillside — a rare, unrestored piece of West Coast architectural history. The Main Floor A gravel path winds through mature ornamental pines and native plantings to the entry, where the home's low, horizontal profile first reveals itself. Step inside to a warm foyer that opens into a sweeping living room, anchored by a rusticated stone fireplace and wrapped in walls of glass that pull the eye straight out to the valley, mountains, and glimpses of the Cowichan estuary beyond. Exposed fir beams and a wood-planked ceiling carry through the main level, giving every room a sense of shelter without ever closing off the view. The family room and open kitchen sit at the heart of the home, the kitchen updated over the years with granite counters, a large island with bar seating, and skylights that flood the space with natural light — all while staying true to the timber-framed character Schubart intended. The adjoining dining area, lit by a maple wood & iron chandelier, opens directly onto the home's expansive deck, where a hot tub takes full advantage of the same panoramic outlook — sunsets over the valley, mist rising off the estuary at dawn, and mountains layered blue into the distance. A main-floor bedroom and full bath round out the level, offering flexible living for guests or single-level convenience. The Upper Floor Upstairs, the primary suite occupies its own private wing — a generous 17'2" x 24'6" retreat beneath vaulted, beamed ceilings, with skylights and walls of glass that keep the valley and mountain views present even from bed. A walk-in closet and ensuite bath complete the suite, finished with the same warm, hand-crafted detailing found throughout the home. It's a space built to wake up in slowly, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the water below. The Workshop & Outbuildings Beyond the main residence, a substantial log-built workshop offers a rare bonus for hobbyists, artisans, or anyone who simply needs a serious space to work with their hands. Built in the same log-and-timber language as the main house, it's outfitted with built-in workbenches, ample power, natural light from clerestory windows, and its own wood stove for year-round use — the kind of space that could just as easily house a woodworking shop, an art studio, or a mechanic's dream garage. Tucked into the forest and raised on log stilts, a charming log-built bunkhouse adds a genuinely rare bonus to the property — part treehouse, part guest cabin, reached by a rustic timber staircase climbing the hillside. Inside, twin log-frame bunks flank a cozy wood stove, warmed by string lights and topped with handmade quilts, antler hooks, and a repurposed wagon-wheel light fixture overhead. Vintage kilim runners cover the wood-plank floor, and a live-edge log table offers a spot to set down a lantern or a good book. At dusk, the cabin glows amber through its log walls and windows, a magical retreat for kids, guests, or anyone chasing that true off-grid cabin feeling — all without leaving the property. The Land The 23-acre property offers exceptional privacy and function to match its beauty. Ample parking accommodates boats, RVs, and multiple vehicles, making this a rare fit for anyone with toys to store and adventures to launch — all just minutes from Cowichan Bay's docks and boat access to the Gulf Islands. The Architect- Henry Schubart Henry "Hank" Schubart (1916–1998) was an American-Canadian architect whose life reads like an origin story for West Coast design. Inspired as a teenager by Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography, Schubart wrote to Wright and was accepted into his Taliesin fellowship, tuition waived.
