This is the most expensive price ever sought for a Shawnigan home. I believe the Wilkinson residence was purchased for $4.5 or $5.5 million, I can't remember which.

I wonder who owns this.  Some type of car collector or dealer, like a Quocksister type.

There is a well know Victoria Developer (not a car dealer) with a very nice car collection that includes a white Porsche 993 Turbo just like the one in the garage photo.

Interesting.

2X what BC Assessment thinks it is worth.

The BC government will probably make an offer at 15% over asking.

Nice. I find it odd theres no deck/sitting area on that second floor though.

Low bank, walk-on beaches on the Gulf Islands are exceedingly rare. Privately owned islands here are arguably rarer. To feature BOTH on one property makes this truly the most unique of offerings. ''Waterlea,'' as it is affectionately known is made up of roughly 3.5 acres of low bank waterfront. Surrounded by sandy beaches on 3 sides, a +/-1 acre private island and featuring Canada’s first olive grove with 80+ olive trees, this opportunity is not to be missed. A boater’s sanctuary, the Gulf Islands are known for their gorgeous vistas, calm waters, safe harbours and marinas. The 114 year old manor is a rustic farmhouse that sits just feet away from the water’s edge and boasts dramatic aquatic views from every principal room. Sit back on the deck and watch the otters play, the eagles soar, and the orcas swim through the kelp beds. For those who know...it’s paradise, actually!

^ How far above sea level again?!

[Victoria Watcher]

Looks like zero.  Might not be able to cross to the island except at low tide.

 

It's quite a property, of course.  It's not much of an existing house.  At least the exterior, inside is nice.

[spanky123]

^ A little bit of global warming impact and you might not see the Island at high tide!
