A Retreat nestled on 10 lush, forested acres in the serene and sought-after Metchosin area. This one-of-a-kind, rock-faced, all-concrete earth-sheltered home offers an exceptional blend of sustainable design and country charm. Tucked into the landscape with a striking living roof, this one level home was expertly designed by a professional engineer for maximum energy efficiency, durability, and harmony with nature. Inside, the home is beautifully finished with some heated tile floors, granite countertops, and a custom cherry kitchen featuring high-end built-in appliances. The open-concept layout includes three spacious bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, all crafted with attention to comfort and functionality. Large windows invite the outdoors in, offering peaceful views of the surrounding forest. Step outside and immerse yourself in the joys of rural living. An above-ground pool with a new yellow cedar deck with a gazebo invites you to cool off on warm summer days, while an outdoor shower and hot tub provide the perfect way to unwind beneath the stars. The fully fenced garden is a gardener’s paradise, boasting a variety of fruit trees, vibrant perennial flowers, mature rhododendrons, and a productive greenhouse ready for year-round use—all connected to an efficient irrigation system. A compact, wired workshop and two generous carports add practicality, while the expansive acreage allows plenty of space for future outbuildings, hobbies, or livestock. A quiet walking trail winds through the woods, leading you to a hidden pinnacle lookout where you can take in breathtaking views and true solitude. Despite its secluded feel, this peaceful sanctuary is just minutes from shopping, schools, and essential services, offering the best of both worlds—rural tranquility with urban convenience. Whether you're seeking a private escape, a homesteader’s dream, or you're a nature lover, this gem invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and live in harmony with the land. (id:47740)
