1341 Madrona Dr — Nanoose Bay, British Columbia

At the quiet end of Madrona Point, where Nanoose Bay meets the Salish Sea, this custom waterfront residence offers an exceptional blend of timeless design and effortless coastal living. Inspired by classic Cape Cod architecture, the home rests on a rare half-acre property bordered by parkland and mature forest, creating a private, sheltered setting immersed in nature. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the home is filled with natural light and expansive ocean views. Soaring 14-foot painted pine tongue-and-groove ceilings, hand-finished fir beams, engineered hardwood floors, and radiant in-floor heating create a warm, refined atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the open-concept living space, a striking 12-foot custom concrete island invites gathering, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing seascape. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character for every season. The thoughtful layout offers two generous primary suites, each with walk-in closets and spa-inspired ensuites, providing exceptional flexibility for guests or main-level living. Connected by a covered breezeway, the charming guest cottage features a loft that sleeps four and a private northeast-facing deck, perfectly positioned for sunrise mornings. Outside, 270-degree waterfront views set the stage for an extraordinary lifestyle. Watch eagles soar, seals play, and passing marine life from beautifully landscaped gardens that lead to the shoreline. Protected waters are ideal for year-round kayaking, paddleboarding, and diving, while a private boat lift accommodates a 20-foot vessel for effortless days on the water. Just 10 minutes from Qualicum Beach Airport and 20 minutes from Nanaimo's ferry and Helijet terminals, this is a rare opportunity to experience West Coast waterfront living at its most peaceful, private, and inspiring.
