Do you have a dream of a place in the country with a woodstove, organic gardens, privacy to be naked outside, and rooms and space for all the creative projects you would love to do, and access to the ocean to get away from it all? Well imagine a house on a hillside with stunning views and a warm swimming lake at the bottom of the driveway.
Eagles Nest Retreat Center is a 2.11 acre property with esplanade waterfront on Hotel Lake (watershed, no motors allowed). The house sits on a hillside, on a flight path of Eagles flying at eye level between the lake and Pender Harbor, in a very private setting with South Eastern Exposure, in Garden Bay, on the Sunshine Coast, 2 hours from downtown Vancouver.
The property includes a 2200 sq. foot house, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. The master bedroom has an ensuite bath, with a deep soaker tub, and his and her closets.
The main floor has an open floor plan with Den, woodstove, dining area and kitchen.
Additionally the living room has vaulted ceilings and a rock wall heatilator fireplace, plus there are 3 additional rooms including a Solarium, office, and craftroom as well as a laundry/storage room and workshop area (30x10, 6ft ceiling crawl). Finishing touches include oak hardwood, tile and rock flooring and driftwood banisters.
Outdoor living area includes a wrap around deck on three sides with which to enjoy the many great vantage points of the spectacular 180 degree panoramic views of Hotel Lake, Pender Harbor, Thormanby, Texada and Vancouver Island. I have been told that it is one of the most fantastic views of any property in the area.
Additionally there is a 1200 ft spa gazebo with an adjacent double shower room, and hot tub. A guest cabin, double carport, 40 ft RV pad, terraced gardens with established perennials including 10 Rhododendron shrubs,
In the center of the property is a 12 bed fenced vegetable garden with a strawberry terrace and Apple, Pear and Plum trees.
