Step into this exceptional 5-Acre West Coast property that feels worlds away yet keeps you connected to everything that matters. This mid-1950s Craftsman-inspired rancher, carefully relocated in 1995 onto a new foundation and services, blends timeless character with the comfort of modern reliability.

Beyond the fenced gardens, a curved wooden walkway winds through the trees before opening into a dock at the pond’s edge, where lily pads drift and dragonflies dance — a private refuge for moments of peace and wonder

From there, well-loved trails weave through the forest, where the stream tumbles gently over its bed of stones, reflecting the tall trees above. Moss-covered logs soften the ground, ferns unfurl in the shade, and shafts of sunlight break through the canopy, creating moments of quiet wonder. Deer pass quietly through the understory, joined by owls, woodpeckers, jays, red squirrels, otters, and beavers — making this land feel truly alive with West Coast spirit. Raspberry patches, raised vegetable beds, edible mushrooms, and native berries add to the sense of abundance, while century-old bluebells bloom each spring.

The home itself exudes warmth, with handcrafted cabinetry, hand-painted wood flooring, unique detailing, and a cozy woodstove anchoring the heart of the living space. A built-in Murphy bed offers flexible living for family or guests, while a beautifully crafted stone patio extends the living space outdoors — perfect for hosting friends, enjoying quiet mornings with coffee and birdsong, or gathering for evening meals beneath the stars. A 625 sq ft heated workshop, complete with its own woodstove, is a creative haven — ideal for projects, hobbies, or simply enjoying the changing seasons in comfort and ease. A whimsical playhouse with a sleeping loft adds charm and invites a sense of play.

And while this sanctuary feels tucked away, it’s only minutes to the heart of Sooke, known for its friendly community, artisan shops, local markets, and popular dining spots. Outdoor adventures are close at hand — from Gordon’s Beach and French Beach to the wild trails of East Sooke Park. Just over an hour away lies Botanical Beach, with its famous tide pools, and the end of the West Coast Trail, where Vancouver Island’s rugged shoreline meets the Pacific. Nearby, Shirley offers wood-fired pizza nights, fine dining at Point No Point Resort, and the famously charming Shirley Delicious Café. Head a little further west to Jordan River, a legendary surf spot, or launch your kayak or paddleboard from Sooke’s sheltered waters to explore the coastline. With Victoria less than an hour away, city amenities, ferries, and international airport access remain easily within reach.

A once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a piece of Vancouver Island’s West Coast lifestyle — where peace and possibility live side by side, surrounded by towering cedars, shimmering waters, and trails to wander freely, offering not just a home but a lasting legacy for generations.
