Perched along the shoreline, this West Coast Cottage captures panoramic views of ocean, islands, and city lights. Set on 0.92 of an acre, this private and beautifully maintained property offers a quintessential island setting, where arbutus, fir, and pine trees frame mossy rock outcroppings along the high bank waterfront. The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom wood sided cabin with metal roof features vaulted wood ceilings and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light and create a warm, modern feel. The contemporary kitchen opens to the main living space, where a heat pump and woodstove provide year-round comfort. Patio doors lead to a generous deck—perfect for taking in passing ferries, coastal wildlife, and evening sunsets. An office with a view and spacious laundry room add flexibility for everyday living or working from home.The property also features a 24x20 double garage featuring a heated concrete floor, and a detached 19x12 studio with its own deck and attached carport. Additional features include a septic system (installed 2005), woodshed and pumphouse. A rare offering that blends privacy, usable space, and stunning coastal views in a sought-after Gabriola waterfront location. All information to be verified by a buyer if deemed important.
