1220 Shawnigan-Mill Bay Rd

Timeless 1907 craftsmanship meets modern utility in a prime high-visibility location. This beautiful home features stunning historic character including cove ceilings, three-quarter wainscot, stained glass, custom built-ins, as well as updates to both the electrical and plumbing systems. The expansive layout offers great potential for a home-based business or hobby farm. Set on 4.86 acres, the home offers country privacy while only two minutes to Hwy 1 and easy commuting distance to Duncan or Victoria. Outbuildings include a barn/garage, a greenhouse and a large heated shop. The loft-style second level reads almost as a private residence while the lower level walkout basement includes a bedroom, a 2nd laundry suite, and storage/hobby areas. The home is on a bus-route and only 5 minutes to the swimming and boating that Shawnigan Lake offers. The result is an uncommon balance of acreage, privacy, functionality and character in the growing and scenic municipality of Mill Bay.
