425 Dole Rd, Gabriola Island

This home beautifully combines old-world heritage style with contemporary design, creating a striking balance in a 4-bedroom + den, 3-bathroom layout. Situated on a picturesque 18.85-acre parcel, a winding driveway leads to a private home site featuring a 3-bay garage with a partly finished studio space above. The property feels like an estate, offering views of trees, rolling hills, and a central clearing. The great room boasts 8 sets of French doors leading to patios, radiant heated floors, a feature wood fireplace set against a stone backdrop, and 10 ft ceilings finished with rough sawn fir. The kitchen is perfect for cooking, entertaining, and dining, featuring a gorgeous island, granite countertops, a propane cookstove, and ample storage. On the main level, you'll also find a 3-piece bathroom, a library/den with a propane fireplace that could be used as a bedroom, the laundry room, and additional storage. The second level includes the primary bedroom with French doors overlooking the property and a 5-piece ensuite. There’s also space for a gym, and 3 additional bedrooms, each with dormers, and a 3-piece bathroom with a freestanding tub. The third level offers a perfect spot for a studio or home office, with plenty of natural light from the dormers. Built in 2011, the home is serviced by a well (logged at 10gpm when drilled) and cistern with filters and UV, has a subpanel and generator, and a septic system. The Boston Ivy on the exterior walls changes colors with the seasons, turning a vibrant red in the fall. Watch the video to get the full experience of what this property has to offer!
