Quite Simply this Home Enjoys the Best View on the Island...
Seldom does a property so perfectly take advantage of such a magnificent view. The top of Helmcken mountain in Manzanita Ridge Estates, is all about, positive energy, flow, and livability - and taking the incredible vistas to heart. From almost every point in the home and on the property one can take in superb seascapes, mountain ramparts, urban landscapes and soaring eagles.
Anchored on the left (southerly direction) are the grand Olympic mountains and the Juan de Fuca Strait. Watch cruise ships and other shipping slip past towards Victoria, seaplanes come and go and the twinkling lights at night. The view extends along the Saanich Peninsula and the Gulf Islands beyond. One can watch the cruise ships through the entire length of their journey through our waters. The stunning centrepiece is Mt Baker and on a clear day Mt Ranier.
The home is situated at the top of a slope allowing for these unobstructed views. Closer to home the Eagles love to soar on the up drafts along this slope right at the level of your sundeck!
The estate is in the rural community of Metchosin; known for its Sunday Drive atmosphere. As such Metchosin is quickly becoming a favorite bedroom community of Victoria. In addition to its rural nature it has much to offer a future resident.
As with any suited property an in-law or nanny suite offers great potential; for teens needing space, family visits, bed & breakfast possibilities, and as the name implies, nannies and in-laws. This spacious, 1 bedroom suite is a charming and serene space with views of the water and mountains, a private patio, full kitchen (larger than in most apartments and suites), distinct eating area, large bedroom and lovely 4 piece bathroom. This home has excellent B&B potential (see location). The suite is finished to the same standard as the rest of the home.
