7 Bed Single Family Detached in Gulf Islands

Description

This famed historic property is a rare jewel situated just minutes from the ferry on North Pender Island. "Waterlea, " as it is affectionately known is made up of roughly 3.5 acres of peninsula with ocean and sandy beaches on 3 sides and an ultra rare +/-1 acre private island. Featuring Canada’s first olive grove with 80+ olive trees. The presence of thriving olive trees is evidence of the warm, arid micro-climate of the area. A boater’s sanctuary, the Gulf Islands are known for their gorgeous vistas, calm waters, safe harbours and marinas. The low bank ocean frontage makes this truly one of a kind. The 113 year old manor is a rustic farmhouse that sits just feet away from the water’s edge and boasts dramatic aquatic views from every principal room. The separate cottage sits at the high water mark, making it more boat than house. Sit back on the deck and watch the otters play, the eagles soar, and the orcas swim through the kelp beds. For those who know...it’s “paradise, actually!”
