WESTCOAST HOME on 19 view acres. Imagine slowly winding your way up a private and gently sloping 800' driveway to a panoramic power spot that will leave you speechless as you gaze over the southern Gulf Islands below. On top of the world alone with nature, the 360 degree surrounding beauty is simply spectacular. Bordered by equally large properties, you are in the middle of a square (900' x 930') 19 acre estate. The 3000 sf home, designed and built by Architrave in 2004, is equally spectacular and features a to-die-for kitchen, Master Suite and Great Room. Details include in-floor heat; high vaulted ceilings; solid open-beam timbers; fabulous appliances; skylites; river rock fireplace; attached 24' x 24' garage with 15,000 gallons of engineered water storage below; a great well; and even a large woodsy park-like dog yard! If you've been waiting for something truly special, this property is an immediate must-see. Priceless! Gabriola Island (population 5500) is the closest and most easily accessed Gulf Island to Vancouver (Winter Olympics 2010). Daily scheduled flights connect Silva Bay to the Vancouver International Airport in just 12 minutes, and hourly B.C. Ferries connect to Nanaimo (trading area 123,000 people) on Vancouver Island (a 20 minute crossing). Gabriola offers a unique blend of semi-rural island living with virtually every modern shopping & service convenience, and has become the recreation & retirement destination of choice for many people from all over the world.
