Description
Set in coveted Cilaire, one of Nanaimo’s most desirable areas where homes rarely come available, this exceptional property pairs sweeping Departure Bay views with a garden setting reminiscent of Butchart Gardens. This home offers a rare sense of privacy, beauty, and calm. The backyard unfolds as a lush retreat with mature landscaping, winding stone pathways, peaceful sitting areas, and a tranquil koi pond woven into the grounds. Inside, expansive windows fill the home with natural light while framing the ocean views. The main living spaces open to a generous deck overlooking the water and spectacular gardens. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, including a spacious primary retreat, while the lower level features a family room, rec room, and built-in sauna that enhances the relaxing, spa-like atmosphere. Moments from Departure Bay Beach, waterfront parks, cafés, and everyday amenities, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of Nanaimo’s most desirable coastal lifestyles.
