11 Apr West Coast Modernism In Nanoose Bay

Vancouver Island has so many ocean-side real estate options that it blows the mainland… Well, out of the water! This property in Nanoose Bay is one of those magical homes where there is none like it, anywhere else. For those of you who have never heard of this quaint town, it is located in between Nanaimo and Parksville. This ocean-side town has around 5,000 residents and some of the finest luxury properties in the province.

I’ve covered dozens of exquisite homes on the Island but this one has caught my eye more than any other. I’m a guy who really likes unique items and the design of this house at 1390 Dorcas Point Road is just superb. This home is also surrounded not only by neighbouring celebrities, but majestic BC landscapes visible from just about every window in the home as well.

With 4,224 square feet of living space situated on a majestic 2.19 acre estate, this property is so much more than just a home – it’s a place where you can live, work, and play all at once. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms offer plenty of versatility in how you use the space, from raising a family to constructing a decked-out home office or hosting friends and relatives from out of town.

The modern steel-frame, wood and glass building was designed by the great Daniel Evans White, offering architecture which is bold yet also comfortingly familiar to those on the West Coast. The interior has been finished with top-quality fir from Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands), while the immaculate patio stonework leads directly into the home.

The exterior of the estate is a fantastic testament to this lush, moderate coastal climate, with fir, arbutus, cedar, and garry oak trees providing not only fresh air and pleasant scenery, but privacy from the outside world as well. A gorgeous spring-fed pond situated alongside the long, illuminated driveway is home to many species of wildlife, as is the private waterfront which is perfect for boating or kayaking. Moorecroft Regional Park is a short distance away, and offers visitors not only curated picnic areas, but plenty of untamed forestland as well.

For $2,500,000 this incredible Nanoose Bay home could be yours. Lovers of luxury and nature alike would be very fortunate to some day call this place home!
