CORTES ISLAND OCEANFRONT ESTATE 

In a supremely private setting this pristine 32 acre oceanfront estate is located in a protected bay on Cortes Island in British Columbia's northern Gulf Islands, at the gateway to the yachting paradise and warm waters of Desolation Sound. The location provides ideal year round boat and float-plane access at the private 60-foot dock and convenient road access via several scheduled daily ferries to Vancouver Island.

The exquisite five year old residence, perfectly situated on the 1,600 feet of low bank south facing waterfront, combines masterful craftsmanship and a sophisticated palette of materials - red and yellow cedar, concrete, granite, copper and walls of glass. The home has an entertainer’s state-of-the-art kitchen adjacent to the great room that opens onto the massive oceanfront deck. The house features an office and four bedrooms, each with ensuite bath, including a spacious master bedroom (with his and hers ensuite baths) that encompasses the entire top floor. All major rooms enjoy spectacular ocean views to the opening of Gorge Harbour and beyond to Vancouver Island.

The Japanese inspired inner courtyard with lotus pond and outdoor fireplace, and the expansive oceanfront decks, provide perfect places to entertain. Outdoors the beach is just steps away, and pathways edged with handset drystack stone walls lead to expansive lawns , formal gardens, a cutting garden and acres of wooded trails. The private 60-foot deep-water dock has 30amp power, water and telephone. In a world of its own, serviced with hydro(underground), phone, and plentiful well water this idyllic state-of-the-art estate is complete with abundant wildlife, private forest, crystal clear water, and possibly the best boating and salmon fishing in the world. The island is serviced with seasonal daily scheduled flights from Vancouver and ferries from Vancouver Island.
