December is a brave time to list a property, especially a massive one over $8 million. But perhaps the agents are banking on buyers visualizing the spectacular holidays their families could have in a place like this.
, the Blue Raven waterfront estate near the BC Ferries terminal on Galiano Island covers 9.4 acres, with nearly 2,400 feet (0.7km) of shoreline and private beaches on a very pretty inlet.
The main home on the property is a gorgeous New England-style custom-built house with two levels of wraparound terraces, five bedrooms, and 4,819 square feet of interior space. This includes a vast great room with epic ocean views and a gourmet kitchen, a large library/family room, and a huge master suite. There’s also a home office (or a sixth bedroom) in the upper turret.
Also on the property is a two-bedroom-plus-den, 1,400-square-foot guest house – known as the dock house – in a contemporary style with a large great room. There’s also well as a second smaller guest house with one bedroom, in the New England style of the main house.
Want more? There’s a four-hole golf course, and two deep-water docks for your boat(s) or to arrive by private floatplane (12 minutes from YVR) – and if you’re even fancier than that, there’s a helipad. All this, in a private estate with a very elegant gated entrance.
We can only dream about having the kind of family (like the Kennedys, perhaps?) that spends holidays in a place like this. With nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms, it would also make an incredible BnB or corporate retreat venue.
The property was valued in 2017 by B.C. Assessment at a total of $3,791,000 for all four lots combined (2018 assessments will be published first week of January 2019).
