 This home on .92 acres is exceptional! 7500 sq ft with 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and an amazing ocean front location in Genoa Bay. Arrive to beautiful, low maintenance, mature gardens where there is always something in bloom. With everything from all sea life to eagles to the different seasons, the view is constantly changing. Every room has a view and there is always sunshine on one of the many patios/decks. Make meal preparation easier with this huge kitchen; there is room for more than one chef as it contains 2 cooking and prep areas and tons of counter and cupboard space. The whole house is very bright with plenty of windows, which is a must in order to take in the stunning views. See it to believe it....the 2 main floor decks, also with access from the yard, are massive. Double sided fireplace between the living room and the family room (could be a guest room). The master bedroom on the main floor has a separate sitting area where you can enjoy the garden view while sitting next to the cozy wood burning fireplace. Head upstairs to 4 bedrooms, 3 of which have private balconies, and 3 bathrooms. One more flight up is a large recreation room. On the lower level there are 3 bedrooms, each with ensuites and their own private sitting areas. The neighboring marina can accommodate arrival by seaplane or boat. Cherish seeing the whales, sea lions and fish jumping while appreciating the fresh air, summer breezes and the serene surroundings yet be minutes to all amenities. Enjoy all the outdoor activities that Vancouver Island has to offer including hiking, biking, swimming, boating, kayaking, scuba diving, golf and sightseeing. 

The vessel you see above the dining area is the racing hull of a Cooper 416 which was built in 1979. Cooper Industries sadly experienced a fire and that left this one of only twenty behind, it was luckily left outside.

This particular racing hull never had a keel, as well it has never sailed in water. In comes a man named George O’Brien, an avid sailing enthusiast and member of the Cruising Club of America. He loved this hull so much he bargained with Forbes Cooper himself and came out the new owner with intentions of adding it in his home. Mr O’Brien stated the reasoning for putting up this boat in his ceiling was so that people remembered him for it. Besides that, he and his wife Koula have entertained people from all over the world here and this home is well known among the yachting community.

All that is quite fitting because this beautiful home is right on the water, next to the quaint Genoa Bay Marina. You can easily have your yacht right here, enjoy the ocean and all the sights and sounds of nature right from this property.
