The Haven is a beautifully renovated estate on one of Victoria’s most desirable sandy beaches. Offering luxury, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty, this iconic property boasts unobstructed 180° views of Cadboro Bay and the Olympic Mountains. Built in 1908, the home is perfectly positioned to capture its stunning surroundings—at high tide, the living room feels like the prow of a ship, while at low tide, the soft sandy beach stretches before you. Nearly every room features floor-to-ceiling windows, showcasing incredible sunrises, sunsets & marine life. The property enjoys all-day sun and direct access to one of Victoria’s finest beaches. Designed for outdoor living, it includes a large covered veranda, cobbled paver patio with a gas fire bowl, a private hot tub area with an outdoor shower, and a BBQ patio. Lush landscaping with mature trees and native plants creates seasonal interest, and a full irrigation system ensures effortless maintenance. The beachside veranda is ideal for year-round seaside enjoyment, hardwired for radiant heaters and offering ample storage for kayaks and paddleboards. Inside, historic charm meets modern comfort with a renovated kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and a great room featuring an original river rock fireplace. The estate includes a garage with parking for two, a workbench, an insulated attic, and a studio with a kitchenette and bathroom—ideal for guests, an office, or rental income. Nearby, Orchard Cottage serves as a fully contained guest house with a kitchen, bath, in-suite laundry, and private fenced yard. A private tree-lined lane leads to the property, just minutes from Cadboro Bay Village and Gyro Beach Park. Additional features include a 60’ x 30’ sport court, a small orchard, a glass potting shed, and a serene garden patio. This rare offering blends historic charm, modern updates, and expansive outdoor living in an unparalleled waterfront setting—perfect as a year-round residence or a luxurious retreat. (id:47421)
