Where once grew a rambling patch of blackberries, Bob and Val have created a serene indoor/outdoor oasis from the ground up, with the intention of creating a sense of connection to nature. The property sits on a bank overlooking the Beaufort Mountains and entices birds from near and far. Lovingly crafted, with a flowing floor-plan of multi-purpose spaces, this oceanfront West-coast home is designed by award-winning designer Etienne deVilliers and owner-built (with mentorship from Etienne along the way). Outside, the compact orchard/veggie garden, the series of cascading ponds, surrounded by imaginative plantings in perennial beds, and the “wild” ornamental garden are a testament to Val’s primary passion - gardening! Be sure to check out her special Garden Room (with a view) and the rustic Water’s Edge Cabin - an old floating logger’s cook house, where the owners lived while building their home.
