A true legacy property along the shoreline, this restored hand-built log home by the Forrester family offers a masterclass in coastal craft. Nestled on over half an acre of walk-on oceanfront, the residence captures sweeping 180-degree panoramic views across the Strait of Georgia. Positioned to trace the sun’s journey from east to west across the horizon, the home enjoys brilliant light, breathtaking sunrises, and stunning ocean sunsets. Inside, the open floor plan centers around a dramatic stone hearth with a wood-burning fireplace, offering 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that pair rustic timber work with refined comfort. An expansive back deck creates an extraordinary front-row seat for watching passing seals, orcas, and eagles. Additional highlights include a versatile cedar bunkie ideal for a studio or guest space, 85-ft ocean frontage, and direct shore access where ocean life thrives at your doorstep—just steps to local trails and the marina.
