$1,290,000 Canadian Something Entirely Different in Island Oceanfront Living
This attractive 5.48-acre oceanfront property is situated on the East side of Quadra just west of Bold Point fronting Hoskyn Channel; a very dramatic property with extensive oceanfront that includes a large rock outcrop as well as some frontage in a small bay.
	The topography varies; it is relatively steep along the oceanfront then benches up in moss covered rock bluffs to approximately 100ft above the ocean. Only a small portion of the property has been developed; it has been left for the most part in its natural state, heavily forested with old growth fir, a mix of other conifers as well as arbutus.
Perched at the summit of this property is a significant 3-bedroom residence with approximately 2800sqft of finished living area plus an additional 900sqft area above the substantial double garage. This large open area could be easily finished to incorporate a variety of uses.
	Built to last, this is an extremely well constructed residence with extensive use of natural materials & absolutely superb and unique, quality craftsmanship.
Outside there is extensive use of stone and brickwork surrounding the house, which incorporates a beautiful entrance to the gardens. On the ocean side of the home this stone and mason work includes patio decks, walkways, retaining walls and garden areas.
	The interior has one-of-a-kind styling and features including open fir beams for the vaulted ceiling and extensive tile and brickwork. The centerpiece of the living area is a massive circular floor to ceiling brick fireplace with four accesses to a huge central firebox, truly unique. The quality, wood and tile work is incorporated throughout.
The kitchen is finished in maple. The master bedroom has a luxurious ensuite as well as access to the ocean side patio deck. There is a beautiful staircase leading to the upper level mezzanine where there is access to two bedrooms with beautiful arched wood doors.
	The exterior of the home is finished in Cedar with a concrete tile roof. There is a sunroom and garden room on the southeast side adjacent to the large double garage. The home has in-floor radiant heat, which is fired with both propane and wood.
There is a significant outbuilding for fuel and wood storage. Domestic water is supplied by a drilled well and there is an underground 10,000-gallon water reservoir that has been incorporated into the foundation. A conventional septic system is in place.
	This property is in an enhanced setting that stimulates your senses and has been developed in such a way that it maximizes your privacy. Being perched on the top of this property you are surrounded by a forest that you look through to enjoy some absolutely breathtaking ocean and mountain views, yet no one can see you.
Eagles and Hawks fly by and perch right outside your windows and the moss covered bluffs which tier down towards the ocean provide a safe haven for the resident deer. A wonderful place to live and enjoy.
