An exceptional and rarely available lakefront estate on the pristine shores of Shawnigan Lake, this trophy property blends timeless charm, functionality, and lakeside luxury. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, it offers privacy, level lake access, and an unparalleled setting for family gatherings and year-round enjoyment. Originally an A-frame cottage, the main residence was extensively transformed in 1999 into a spacious 4-5 bedroom home designed for comfortable waterfront living. The main floor features an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area ideal for entertaining. A large rec room provides flexibility as a family room or fifth bedroom, with a nearby bedroom and Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The dining area opens to an expansive cedar deck overlooking the lush lawn and waterfront. A charming footbridge crosses a meandering stream to a magical backyard oasis complete with a treehouse and swing set. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a clawfoot tub/shower ensuite and soaring ceilings that lead to a versatile third-floor space perfect for yoga, exercise, or meditation. A separate upper-level suite with its own entrance offers excellent accommodation for extended family, guests, or rental potential. At the water's edge, a delightful 1-bedroom A-frame guest cabin provides the ultimate private retreat. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase stunning lake views, while a dramatic stone fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. A loft offers potential for additional sleeping areas, and the sun-filled deck is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The waterfront is truly exceptional, featuring a sunny beach, beautifully maintained dock, and easy level access to the lake. Whether boating, swimming, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the scenery, this is Shawnigan Lake living at its finest. The fully irrigated property includes parking for eight vehicles plus ample room for boats, trailers, RVs, and recreational equipment. A 25 kW auto-start propane generator provides dependable backup power. This extraordinary lakefront estate is the ultimate family retreat, ready to create lasting memories for generations to come.
