**OPEN HOUSE SAT May 23 (2-4pm)** Experience year-round tranquility with nature at your doorstep in this stunning south-facing high-bank oceanfront retreat. Watch humpbacks, orcas and eagles travel by as storms roll across the Salish Sea while you stay cozy by the fire. Tucked away from the road in a private, peaceful setting, this is the kind of property people dream about escaping to, a true West Coast hideaway surrounded by trees, rockery and the soothing sounds of a seasonal stream running alongside the home. The cottage offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a charming loft accessed by a captain’s ladder that grandchildren and adventurous guests will love. The open concept kitchen, dining and living space features vaulted wood ceilings, creating warmth and natural light throughout. A wall of windows frames the ever-changing ocean views and opens onto a spacious deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee, evening sunsets or simply listen to the waves below. One of the unique features of this property is the sense of arrival. A private driveway winds through the trees to a flat parking area, followed by naturally landscaped stairs leading down to the cottage, creating a feeling of complete separation from the outside world. A special bonus is the electric trolley system, making it easy to transport groceries and belongings from the parking area directly to the deck. Designed for low-maintenance island living, the home features a durable metal roof and is connected to the Magic Lake Estates water and sewer system for added peace of mind. Located close to Magic Lake, ocean access points, scenic walking trails and Thieves Bay Marina, where Magic Lake homeowners enjoy access to low-cost moorage. Whether you are searching for a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend getaway or the perfect place to gather with family and friends, this oceanfront sanctuary offers the very best of Pender Island living.
