The rural community of Nanoose Bay -- and all of Vancouver Island, really -- is a great place for those who enjoy a carefree and relaxing lifestyle, as it's filled with beautiful woodland and surrounded by endless amounts of water.
The Island also has its fair share of stunning homes, but it may be tough to beat 2426 Andover Road, currently on the market for $6,749,000.
The property is located within walking distance of Brickyard Community Park and the Fairwinds Golf Club, and is literally as close as you can get to the water -- the Strait of Georgia is accessible from the backyard, whether your choice of transport be via canoe, kayak, or floatplane.
This very modern, very west-coast home is perched on shores that serve unobstructed panoramic views of the ocean and the Fitzimmons Range of mountains in the distance. The views are punctuated by numerous small islands, such as the Ada Islands and the Winchelsea Islands.

Built in 2020, the home boasts four bedrooms, seven baths, and 8,800 sq. ft of living space atop a 20,538 sq. ft lot.
Not only is the property's location hard to beat, the home's design is equally top-notch. The home was built using the tried and true post-and-beam method, and the use of timber can be seen around the property, including in the fir beams and the 14-ft cedar ceilings.

On the main floor waits a top-of-the-line chef's kitchen complete with quartz countertops, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Asko appliances, multiple fridges and freezers, a glass-enclosed wine cellar, and a spacious pantry room.
Explore more of the home and you'll find a double-sided sunken bar, a library, an office/art studio, and a games room. On the lower level, accessible via a three-level wood and mirror-paneled elevator, there's a home gym equipped with a steam room, a massage room, a wet bar, and access to the covered patio and infinity-edge jacuzzi outside.
Of course, the bedrooms of the home are equally as luxurious. The primary includes two fireplaces, one of which is a stone-hearth just outside on the deck walk-out, a custom-etched feature window, his and hers toilet rooms, dual vanities, a sit-down makeup vanity, a walk-in shower, a large walk-in closet with a private laundry, and a coffee bar.
Our Favourite Thing
It's difficult to pick just one favourite thing, but the stonework around the property truly stands out. The stone steps leading down to the lower level and water are immaculate, as is the stonework in the fireplaces, the accent walls, the wine cellar, and even some of the bathroom walls.
Nearly every room in the house provides beautiful ocean views, but the prime viewpoint has to be the rooftop firepit, or the finely manicured outdoor spaces, tree-lined for privacy and providing ample amounts of lounge space.
Because of how recently the home was built, it has also been optimized with the latest technology, such as a nine-camera security system, a cutting-edge surround sound system, an automatic water leak detection system, a back-up generator, an LED wall panel for lighting and temperature controls, a plethora of smart-home features, an outdoor watering system, and more.
The home has a dizzying number of amazing features, all of which combine to make for a truly dazzling property, in the one-of-a-kind location that is Nanoose Bay.
