Placed dramatically on a steep lot overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this West Coast-style home blends seamlessly into the rugged landscape of Vancouver Island. Large, panoramic windows capture scenic views of the coastline, while the spacious decks offer a front-row seat to stunning sunsets. Fire-resistant materials such as high-performance fiber cement siding boards and standing-seam metal roofing combined with solid wood posts and beams define the exterior, complementing the surrounding forest and rocky terrain. The home’s open, airy design features vaulted ceilings, wood beams, and a modern yet warm aesthetic. Hinged glass double doors invite the outdoors in, creating a peaceful, nature-infused sanctuary where ocean breezes fill the space.
