Listing Description

Imagine waking up to sweeping views of the ocean and coastal mountains from your own 2,455 sq ft rancher on Gabriola’s waterfront. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers one-level living with a spacious layout designed to maximize both comfort and natural beauty. Step through the gate onto the level 0.49 acre property with a circular driveway, mature landscaping, and room for gardening. A generous 896 sq ft double garage provides plenty of storage and workspace, complementing the wood-sided home with its metal roof. Inside, vaulted ceilings and Norse Log wood accents bring warmth and character to the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas. Hardwood floors, a woodstove insert, and a heat pump create a welcoming space year-round. Expansive windows and multiple sliding doors connect seamlessly to the outdoors, where you’ll find plenty of deck space—partly covered for all-season enjoyment—perfect for taking in the picturesque lighthouse views and stunning sunrises with your morning coffee. The primary suite includes an ensuite and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms, a den, and a hobby room provide flexibility for family, guests, or creative pursuits. Outdoors, the fully fenced yard features raised garden beds, a potting shed, storage building, and a variety of plantings including wisteria-draped pathways, a cherry tree at the heart of the circular drive, and vibrant bougainvillea. Thoughtful updates add peace of mind, including recent septic improvements, gutters and leaf guards, plus a reliable water system with a well, UV light & filters, two cisterns for the home, and an additional cistern for garden use.
