1341 Madrona Dr At the secluded terminus of Madrona Point, where Nanoose Bay meets the Salish Sea, lies a custom waterfront residence of rare distinction. Drawing inspiration from classic Cape Cod design, this home occupies an irreplaceable 0.5-acre parcel bordered by parkland and mature coastal growth. The result is a naturally protected sanctuary that feels deeply connected to its surroundings—an ideal primary residence or an elevated coastal escape. The interior unfolds with impressive scale and warmth. Painted pine tongue-and-groove ceilings rise to 14 feet, accented by hand-finished fir beams, while engineered hardwood and radiant in-floor heating provide enduring comfort. The open-concept main level is anchored by a dramatic 12-foot custom concrete island, creating a natural hub for gathering. Living and dining spaces are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in uninterrupted ocean views and the soothing presence of the sea, complemented by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Accommodations include two spacious primary suites, each featuring walk-in closets and spa-like ensuites, offering flexibility for single-level living or a private upper-floor retreat. A covered breezeway connects the main house to a charming guest cottage, complete with a loft that sleeps four and a northeast-facing deck—perfect for sunrise views. The outdoor experience is defined by sweeping 270-degree vistas and frequent wildlife sightings. The calm, protected waters invite year-round paddle boarding, kayaking, and diving. Irrigated garden beds cascade toward the shoreline, where a private boat lift accommodates a 20-foot vessel. Located just 10 minutes from Qualicum Beach Airport and 20 minutes from Nanaimo’s ferry and Helijet services, this property represents a rare and artful expression of West Coast living. (id:203)
