A unique opportunity if you’re looking for something truly different. This island lifestyle retreat sits on 5.23 acres of private, high-bank oceanfront in Qualicum Beach, where spectacular sunsets over the Salish Sea, Hornby & Denman Islands, and distant Coastal Mountains create a stunning backdrop. From sunrise to sunset, shifting seascapes with orcas, eagles, and passing watercraft bring the coastline to life, while a flowing artesian spring provides the property’s water source. The handcrafted 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage feels like a rustic coastal retreat, a whimsical treehouse tucked amongst tall firs with wood accents, bay windows, and inviting nooks. Nautical porthole windows reflect the spirit of West Coast living, while bridges, walkways, and an outdoor shower add individuality. The conservatory-style dining room, wrapped in glass, and the great room showcase the ocean views, complemented by a renovated island kitchen, SS appliances, several newer windows, and a renovated bath that add comfort while preserving the home’s handcrafted character. Roughed-in water lines on the second floor provide flexibility for a future bath. Outside, perennial plantings, ivy, and ferns create a natural groundcover beneath the trees, and a path leads to ~150 ft of bluff waterfront. Expansive decks invite you to take in the sunsets, while a detached workshop provides space for hobbies or storage. A gated entry ensures privacy, and zoning allows for a second home with its own separate road access—ideal for family, guests, or future development. All this is just minutes from the amenities of Qualicum Beach, Arrowsmith Golf Club, marinas, and sandy beaches, offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Whether envisioned as a weekend escape, year-round retreat, or your dream estate, 235 Spearfish Rd is a rare offering—rustic, timeless, and deeply connected to the Vancouver Island way of life.
