Wild Coast Retreat
A Stunning Oceanfront Retreat in Ucluelet, BC
The Wild Coast Retreat is situated on .84 acres of oceanfront on a peninsula in Ucluelet, British Columbia. The land has over 250 feet of frontage, is very private and features weathered, smooth volcanic rock that is walkable and accessible from the property. The home is an outstanding piece of architecture on three floors with floor to ceiling windows and breathtakingly situated to maximize the views of the open Pacific Ocean and ensure privacy.
The stunning property is pie shaped, located on the exclusive Sunset Point peninsula and is accessed through a private security gate. Drive to the end of the short cul-de-sac road to arrive at the gate of the property.
The home with its stone base and cedar siding is well integrated in the landscape. The house features two wings separated by a two level glass bridge/skywalk which allows the visitor to catch the first glimpse of the ocean beyond. You will encounter a beautiful multi-level water feature as you approach the main entrance.
The home is elegantly designed to relax and entertain with a large open great room whose ceiling soars to 18 feet, the dining area opens wide to let the outside in through large sliding glass doors and the kitchen is any chef's dream. In order to capture all that west coast nature has to offer there are multiple outdoor living spaces. Truly one of the most beautiful west coast gems.
Absolutely stunning property on a .84 acre lot with 256 feet of oceanfront.
