Looking for a private island paradise, with secure year round moorage for
your boat, if desired, and with a very appealing country style main home
and a beauty cottage, too? Here it is! Garage plus parking space at Canoe Cove, plus covered boat slip...easy to keep a run-about boat here for quick back & forth jaunts to shore. Kolb Island enjoys the peaceful beauty of your own island plus the proximity to all services and amenities of Sidney and of Victoria. Easy to get to from anywhere in the world, and yet wonderfully private and "apart" upon arrival. Authentic country style main home, with main level expansive living (feature wood-burning fireplace), dining with a seaview, spacious country kitchen with breakfast area, guest bed and bath. Master bed-sitting with ensuite on the upper level...a hidden retreat! Appealing deck wraps the home, offering different viewscapes. An adjacent "bunky" cabin is the perfect writer's retreat and overflow guest accommodation! The two bed guest cottage is nestled beside the sea, and is privately sited from the main home...the country design ethic has been retained here, in this newer addition to the Island. An original cabin, perhaps dating from the 1920s, perched at water's edge has been retained...a very picturesque destination while strolling the island. Connected to Vancouver Island for power and water, and with a back-up generator system, this is a recipe for being self-sufficient and self-sustaining. Private trails, easy care natural landscaping around the home, lovely stands of forest, arbutus & Garry Oak groves, covered wood storage, veggie garden, terrific storage building for all the extras that go with a boater's life...private points of land for pondering life & nature, bays for star-watching & swimming...coves to beachcomb. This is a very very appealing private island experience, with open sea vistas & serene protected bays. You will love the very expansive docks and the welcoming arrival decking. Authentic boathouse, right there, for convenience! Sunny (e/s/w exposures), peaceful, near and yet far...it doesn't get any better! Call for your appointment to view...48 hour notice for all viewings. |
