340 Arbutus Ave Built by a prominent local logging family, this custom designed three story, 6, 315 sq ft property, with an independent suite, offers 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms on 2.14 acres of idyllic, private, oceanfront land with 218 feet of shoreline. The property features classic architectural details, high end craftsmanship and has been cleverly and thoughtfully designed for easy living. Meticulously restored and maintained, this home has many luxurious features including stunning oak floors, four fireplaces, a library, walk-in closets, a 9-piece ensuite with steam room, security system, and a walk-in temperature-controlled wine cellar. With 1930 sq ft of wrap around cedar decking, the property overlooks Salt Spring Island and offers a truly spectacular unobstructed 270° view from Sansum Narrows to Burgoyne Bay and Bird’s Eye Cove. This is unlike anything you’ve seen on the market! There is an oversized 627 sq ft garage, a sizable flat driveway and a secluded flat, grassed area down by the beach. Two Harbour Air flights daily from Maple Bay to downtown Vancouver and YVR provide easy access for work or play. Centrally located, Nanaimo Airport is 35 minutes away and Duncan is less than 15 minutes. Undoubtedly one of the most special and unique properties on Vancouver Island. (id:203)
