This wildly beautiful three-acre property overlooking Nanoose Bay is a dream setting for a family planning to house multiple generations on one site. Serenity is prevalent on the property, with one side flanked by the Es-hw Sme~nts Regional Park, and an extensive rugged shoreline that frames 180-degree ocean views. This is truly the place to experience amazing winter storms and serene sunrises.
Such a property calls for simple and practical integrations into this naturalized landscape. The entire site is accessed by simple goat paths, which either connect features in the landscape – or lead to areas of importance, such as shelter or outstanding views. Sustainable landscape design is key, with the hardscapes minimal, and softscapes (once established) meant to be resilient in the face of summer droughts and exposed winters.
