Description
Discover a rare and remarkable opportunity to own 4.3 acres of low bank waterfront in the highly desirable seaside community of Saltair. This property offers approximately 460 feet of walk-on oceanfront with easy access to a pebbled beach, creating an exceptional setting for those who value natural beauty and coastal living. The heart of the property is a timeless 1929 Arts & Crafts home that exudes character and charm. Original craftsmanship is evident throughout, with 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and detailed woodwork that speaks to the quality of a bygone era. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the ocean, while French doors lead to a sun-drenched deck—an ideal place to watch the sunrise, sip your morning coffee, and take in the ever-changing coastal scenery. The surrounding gardens and landscaped yard are bursting with colour in every season, while the upper portion of the acreage is heavily treed with mature fir and cedar. This natural backdrop ensures privacy and creates the feeling of your very own west coast retreat. Beyond the main home, the property includes a separate two-bedroom cottage currently rented, offering additional income potential or space for extended family. A garden shed adds practical storage for tools and equipment. With its unique combination of heritage charm, oceanfront beauty, and tranquil setting, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. Saltair is known for its peaceful community spirit and convenient location between Chemainus and Ladysmith, offering easy access to marinas, golf, shopping, and recreational amenities, while still providing the privacy and serenity of a coastal retreat. This is a legacy property that rarely comes available. All measurements and information should be verified if fundamental to purchase. (id:63159)
