Nestled above Benson Meadows & located on 5.36 acres with breathtaking views of Nanaimo, the Georgia Strait & the Vancouver Cityscape in the distance, this dream retreat offers unrivaled mountain lifestyle. The extraordinary 1078 SQFT cottage was recently built to exacting standards & can be used as a source of rental income or as refuge while you build your dream home perched high on a rock promontory that overlooks the vista below. The cottage features 2 bedrooms, air conditioning, a loft and a Great Room that is designed for entertaining or simply hanging out away from the madness of urban life. Expansive patios & sublime privacy add to the magic of this mountain aerie. The relatively level lot provides space for a myriad of possibilities such as room for horses, creation of mountain bike trails or purely the privacy to nature bathe on your very own private land. This is truly one of Nanaimo’s most enchanting estates. The sellers will contribute $10,000 towards driveway improvements.
