The extensive property also includes a wall tent, fenced off garden and outdoor tennis courts.
So you want to have your family over, but don’t want to share four walls with your in-laws, or your own parents, or your siblings or cousins for that matter. Well, there’s a property for you.
Look no further than 8 Arbutus Bay Rd. on Bowen Island, which is currently on the market for $8.9 million.
Not only does your picturesque property come with a six-bedroom, five-bathroom main home measuring 4,159 square feet, there are also at least three other houses on the sprawling 14.39-acre property.
A listing describes it as a “once-in-a-generation waterfront acreage estate,” which is on the market for the very first time.
“Rich with the charm of days gone by, this extraordinary private family compound feels a world away while capturing stunning city views,” the listing reads. “Encompassing four residences, the property offers exceptional flexibility for generations to gather. Wander through gardens and open meadows, enjoy the private tennis court, or escape to the secluded beach just steps away.”
One of the smaller residences — let’s call it The Green House — is perched on a stunning rock outcropping, just steps from the ocean and an unobstructed view of downtown Vancouver.
Apart from the multiple houses on the property, there are other structures including a wall tent on a permanent wood pad, with its own viewing deck, as well as a storage shed/garage.
For those who aren’t acquainted, Bowen Island is just a short ferry ride from the Metro Vancouver mainland, departing Horseshoe Bay in West Van.
