Tucked behind the gates of coveted Rivers Crossing in the Highlands, this custom-built 4BD, 3BA home was crafted without compromise. Surrounded by west coast forest, yet only minutes from Langford's amenities, it offers the rare combination of forested seclusion & everyday convenience. Soaring vaulted ceilings crown a living room anchored by a wood-burning insert with river rock surround & solid wood built-ins. The kitchen continues the exceptional craftsmanship, with solid wood millwork, granite countertops & recently updated appliances. Upstairs offers 3 large bedrooms plus an additional office area that leads to a balcony with Mt Finlayson views. The lower level adds exceptional storage, wine cellar, double garage with workshop, & an unfinished flex space ready for your vision. The fully fenced garden is a private retreat with a hot tub under the gazebo and a tranquil koi pond with fountain, all set against the backdrop of a forested 1/2 acre property. Enjoy world class forest hikes minutes from your door at Jocelyn Hill, Mt Work or Gowland Tod. A truly special property for those seeking the rare combination of quality, privacy, & convenience
