Embrace island living in this beautiful rancher on a private .46-acre lot. Single-level living with the peace of mind of a home still under home warranty. The bright, open-concept layout features vaulted 9' ceilings, elegant crown molding, a cozy woodstove, and a chef’s kitchen with an induction cooktop, large pantry, and a large island. Designed for privacy, the primary bedroom is a true retreat, boasting a walk-in closet and a spa-like ensuite with heated floors, a tub, and a shower. A bonus is the 1,420 sq ft walk-out basement (6'5" height) with windows—perfect for storage, a hobby workshop, or a fitness space. Stay comfortable year-round with a heat pump (heating/AC), water filtration, and 3 cisterns. Relax on the 10'x54' back deck or the covered gazebo, enjoying the fully fenced, low-maintenance yard backing onto a peaceful forest. And directly across the road is an access to the waterfront - AMAZING views from here. Your turn-key Gabriola sanctuary awaits!
