A True Waterfront Estate With Historical Significance

Discover unparalleled tranquility at 4855 Major Rd; a unique true oceanfront estate situated on over half an acre in the prestigious Cordova Bay area of Saanich; minutes from Victoria via picturesque park boulevards & the Blenkinsop Valley.  This remarkable resort-like property offers a rare combination of luxury, architectural mastery, and serene natural beauty.  The redesigned west coast rancher, accompanied by a detached Guest Cottage, & Separate Gatehouse, features 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms across 4,500+ sq ft of living space.   The main house offers spacious living areas with bespoke finishes, intricate artisanal details, and high-end appliances.  The gourmet kitchen is equipped with maple cabinets, granite countertops, and dual ovens, while the living room & dining room both offer gas fireplaces and panoramic ocean views.  The guesthouse, designed by Hank Schubart (a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright) includes a versatile detached guest cottage, equipped with a lofted bedroom, kitchen, sprawling views of the Cordova Bay and beyond, and a split bathroom with separate shower upstairs.  A whimsical pathway leads up towards a private and picturesque viewpoint to enjoy the seamless sea-to-sky transitions from day to night, to add to the seemingly endless hidden sanctuaries on the property.  A 'yoga hut' below the guest cabin offers the ultimate retreat on what feels like the edge of the coastline; steps to the waterfront with a pathway leading directly to the beach.  This is the coastal sanctuary you have been hoping for.   The meticulously landscaped gardens, low-maintenance yard, and large balconies and patios provide peaceful surroundings and breathtaking ocean views.  Despite its secluded feel, 4855 Major Rd. is just minutes away from town, offering easy access to local amenities, top-rated schools, and recreational facilities.  Modern amenities include a security system, irrigation sprinklers, and extensive built-in storage.
