A Rare Hilltop Estate with Unmatched Privacy & Panoramic Views: Perched atop a 2.5-acre hilltop, this exceptional estate offers a rare, expansive flat plateau—combining elevation with functional, usable land. Ideally situated between Southwind Drive and Lorenzen Lane, the property features dual driveway access, offering convenience and flexibility for multi-generational living or future development.
The Location & Lifestyle: Located just 7–8 minutes from Costco, Home Depot, and Woodgrove Centre, this home perfectly balances peaceful seclusion with urban convenience. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being steps away from the Copley Ridge Trail network for hiking, biking, and ATV adventures. Surrounded by mature trees, the property is a true sanctuary with no visible neighbors, providing total privacy for open fires, barbecues, and gatherings.
Breathtaking Views: Enjoy stunning panoramas overlooking Nanoose Bay to the front and Copley Ridge to the back. Summer evenings are magical, featuring vibrant sunsets over the water.
Turnkey Quality & Potential: The home features a renovated kitchen (2019), a studio (2016)—both permitted—a brand-new water heater (2025), and fresh interior/exterior paint. Year-round comfort is ensured by forced-air heating and AC. Huge future potential exists for a carriage house or subdivision (buyer to verify).
Education: Located in the Seaview Elementary and Dover Bay Secondary catchments (with bus service), and just 8 minutes from the prestigious Aspengrove School.
