Description

Experience the epitome of coastal living at 4855 Major Rd, a stunning oceanfront estate on over half an acre in Cordova Bay. Just minutes from Victoria yet worlds apart, this unique property blends tranquility, practicality, and convenience, into a combination that is highly sought after. The main house, a redesigned west-coast rancher, spans 3,189 square feet with three bedrooms, an expansive lofted den with a private deck, and 2.5 bathrooms. The Primary Suite includes dual ensuite bathrooms—one with standup shower and the other with a soaker tub. An additional four-piece bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The gourmet kitchen is complete with maple cabinets, granite countertops, dual ovens, & eating area, while the Great Room and dining area offer gas fireplaces and panoramic views of Cordova Bay and Gulf Islands. A detached 1,100 square foot guest cottage, designed by a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, provides a serene retreat. It features a lofted bedroom, a half bath with a separate shower, a kitchenette, and oversized windows framing ocean vistas. A back pathway leads to a private viewpoint, and the front yard includes a yoga hut at the water's edge. The 287-square-foot gate house serves as a fully functional office - or additional sleeping quarters - and is equipped with a four-piece ensuite bathroom and two entrances, via a sliding door or access via carport. Despite its secluded feel, 4855 Major Rd is close to town, offering access to amenities, top-rated schools, and recreational facilities. This estate is ideal for multigenerational living, or familes that are emptying the nest or growing one. This serene retreat, promising unparalleled privacy and exclusivity on Vancouver Island’s coveted shores, is perfect for any family (or individuals') dynamic and is ready for immediate enjoyment. Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of paradise. For more information or to schedule a private showing, contact your REALTOR® today!
