Property Description

Embrace the romance of West Coast living with this magnificent 5-acre Gabriola Island estate, where a dream lifestyle meets a highly lucrative income stream. Purpose-built from the ground up to operate as a premier boutique Bed & Breakfast, this exceptionally maintained property allows you to seamlessly blend the joy of island hospitality with an impressive financial return, generating over $72,000 per year in gross revenue. Situated just across the street from the ocean, you can be walking on the beach in less than five minutes, breathing in the salty air before returning to your own 100% private sanctuary. The heart of the estate is a stunning, custom-built 6,000-square-foot residence that boasts a warm, majestic ''lodge'' aesthetic. With its soaring high ceilings, rich wood accents, and an elegant, extra-wide staircase, the architectural design creates an inviting atmosphere that feels wonderfully cozy for two, yet effortlessly accommodates grand entertaining for up to thirty guests. The thoughtful layout prioritizes total privacy, dedicating the main floor to the owner's spacious living quarters. Upstairs, the dedicated B&B zone features three massive bedrooms—each complete with its own private ensuite bathroom and dedicated deck—alongside a communal guest living room and a convenient kitchenette. Step outside onto more than 3,000 square feet of expansive decking to overlook a breathtaking landscape of manicured lawns, vibrant gardens, and an enchanting, large pond. Adding to the property is a detached cottage featuring a full basement, providing the perfect retreat for visiting family or additional creative space. The estate is supported by an exceptional well producing at 6 gpm. To step into this rare island paradise, contact your Realtor. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important.
