Directly overlooking Finlayson Arm, this 5-acre lot in the Cowichan Valley has unstoppable views. It's panorama takes in the Pacific Ocean, Shawnigan Lake, Mount Baker, the Olympic Range, and downtown Victoria. The small house combines a modern look with rustic charm. Occupying the ground floor, a two-car garage has been converted into an open living space with an additional kitchenette, guest room, and ensuite. While this clever conversion can be utilized in many ways, reverting to a garage would also be a sinch. Upstairs, you’ll find a cozy bedroom and adjoining bathroom. The kitchen, living room, and dining room let in ample light. Enjoy the scenery indoors or from your covered, wraparound SE facing deck. Those with plans to build have several sites to consider, making for many exciting possibilities. Current tenants on the grounds are a family of quails who hope to stay. Close neighbours include Spectacle and Shawnigan Lake, the Malahat Skywalk, and Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail. (id:24212)
