4855 Major Road, Cordova Bay

Experience the epitome of coastal living at 4855 Major Rd, a stunning oceanfront estate set on over half an acre in the prestigious Cordova Bay area of Saanich. Just minutes from Victoria, this unique property offers the perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and convenience.

The main house, a meticulously redesigned west-coast rancher, spans 3,189 square feet and features three bedrooms, an expansive lofted den with a private deck, and 2.5 bathrooms. The luxurious Primary Suite includes dual ensuite bathrooms—one with a standup shower and the other with a soaker tub. An additional four-piece bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The spacious interiors are adorned with bespoke finishes, artisanal details, and high-end appliances. The gourmet kitchen boasts maple cabinets, granite countertops, and dual ovens, while the Great Room and dining area offer gas fireplaces and panoramic vistas of Cordova Bay and the Gulf Islands.

An additional and nearly 1,100 square foot detached guest cottage, designed by renowned architect Hank Schubart, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, provides a serene retreat for visitors. This self-contained cottage features a lofted bedroom, a half bath with a separate shower, a generous kitchenette, and soaring ceilings with oversized windows that frame stunning ocean vistas. A back pathway leads to a private viewpoint, and the front yard features a humble yoga hut at the water's edge, creating a perfect escape for relaxation.

The 287-square-foot gate house adds versatility to the estate, serving as a fully functional office (perfect for home-based practitioners) with a four-piece ensuite bathroom or as additional sleeping quarters.

The property’s outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with meticulously landscaped gardens, a greenhouse, irrigation, and an ocean-view firepit for almost year-round outdoor enjoyment. Highbank waterfront access via stairs, or a short walk or drive to the main beach access on Cordova Bay Road, ensures you can fully enjoy the coastal lifestyle at any turn. At low tide, a sandbar emerges, enhancing the waterfront experience.

Despite its secluded feel, 4855 Major Rd is conveniently close to town, offering easy access to local amenities, top-rated schools, and recreational facilities.  Minutes from town, yet worlds apart, this estate is ideal for multigenerational living or as a serene retreat, promising unparalleled privacy and exclusivity on Vancouver Island’s coveted shores.
