Set on 23 pristine, private acres above Cowichan Bay, this Hank Schubart-designed home is a RARE survivor of the architect's celebrated "Hank's Houses" era — Prairie-style horizontals reimagined for the coast, deep overhangs floating above walls of glass. Sweeping rooflines follow the land's contours, framing ocean, valley, and mountain views from nearly every room. Inside, exposed fir beams and a rusticated stone fireplace anchors sun-filled living spaces; terracotta tile and reclaimed hardwood carry warmth throughout. The kitchen, bathrooms, and decks have been updated over the years, blending comfort with Schubart's vision. Skylights wash the great room in light, and the kitchen opens onto an expansive deck for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite sits beneath vaulted wood ceilings with its own valley & ocean views. A log bunkhouse on stilts and a separate log workshop extend the setting into the forest — a rare, storied piece of West Coast architecture, still wholly itself.
