1457 Howcrest Rd

Total privacy in a tranquil forest. While this stunning property lists as one acre, it is in a natural reserve of 20 acres-so the seclusion is complete. A strong design concept permeates this architect-designed home and affords a feeling of openness via interconnected three levels of living space and its floor to ceiling glazing throughout. These features bring a direct connection with the forest where the trees seem part of the structure. The unique layout includes a spa, sauna, and whirl baths. Due to the large windows and skylights, and despite being under the forest canopy, the home is bright. It’s comforts include a combination of in-floor heating, wood burning stove as well as a/c heat pumps. The strong link between the inside and outside is aided by decks allowing outdoor life between the trunks of giant firs. Here, one is still conveniently located near BC ferries, International Airport, walking trails and the town of Sidney. Book a visit today to feel the magic for yourself! (id:54626)
