About this property
Secluded by the ocean, 30 minutes from Victoria
A 2 bedroom suite by the Ocean is secluded at the forest edge with native trees and plants, full of wildlife (butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, shore birds, bald eagles, ravens and the occasional killer whale). Yet only 30 minutes from Victoria.
The property is located by the Pacific Ocean, with a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains, across Juan de Fuca Strait. At the water level, one can view Race Rocks Lighthouse. Bring your kayak or paddleboard...
The house and suite are surrounded by majestic tree stand reminding old-growth forest and giving you lots of shade, yet southern exposure offers plenty of sunshine.
My wife operated a small yoga studio in another part of the building with a few classes only per week. If you are interested to join her, please inquire regarding availability. . .

Why they chose this property
You feel in a different world, typical of the West Coast of Canada.
We have owned this place for 20 years, and we have made an effort to respect natural settings and yet create a little paradise for nature lovers and for gardeners.

What makes this property unique
Simply a unique location. And so close to Victoria. In fact, off our driveway, one can take the bus to downtown Victoria
Think of it: House is nested near a tree stand reminding you of an old-growth forest, Ocean front and a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains.
Full complement of local native plants and trees, with butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, shore birds, bald eagles, ravens, and river otters swimming close to shore, and with some luck, the occasional Orca (killer whale) or Humpback whale passing by.
