Why Saltair is Vancouver Island's Best Kept Luxury Secret

The Art of Island Living at 10333 Chemainus Rd

If you have ever dreamed of waking up to the smell of ocean air, spending your afternoons exploring hidden beaches, and watching the sunset cast golden hues across the water from your own deck, then the community of Saltair is calling your name. Long regarded as Vancouver Island's best-kept secret, Saltair offers a rare and magical combination of rural tranquility and artistic coastal culture. Just down the road lies the famous town of Chemainus, widely celebrated for its outdoor murals, local boutique shops, and the renowned Chemainus Theatre Festival. Living here means you can enjoy the deep quiet of a forested ocean-view property while still being a short walk or drive from a vibrant cultural hub.

The custom-built masterpiece at 10333 Chemainus Rd was intentionally crafted to capture the very best of this incredible environment. Spanning over forty-three hundred square feet of executive living space, this 2023 West Coast home perfectly balances modern sophistication with natural warmth. The main level is anchored by a gorgeous chef's kitchen featuring premium quartz countertops and a massive island that opens up to the dining and living areas. A striking fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the living room, while a massive wall of windows frames panoramic views of the ocean and your private, lushly wooded property. It is the perfect layout for grand entertaining or simple, quiet family evenings by the fire.

What truly sets this estate apart is how beautifully it accommodates guests and family members while preserving your personal privacy. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, featuring a luxurious five-piece ensuite bath and a private balcony where you can escape the world. On the upper floor, a large lounge with a built-in wet bar opens onto an expansive sundeck that is practically begging for summer cocktail parties.

Downstairs, the walk-out lower level is an entertainer's paradise, boasting a huge recreation room, a home gym, guest bedrooms, and an additional bar that steps directly out into your private backyard oasis, complete with a beautiful wooden gazebo and landscaped gardens.

Investing in a home of this calibre is a major milestone, and I believe the home-buying process should be just as luxurious as the property itself. To ensure you experience the Island hospitality, I invite you to take advantage of my exclusive VIP Coastal Tour. When you schedule a viewing with me, I will arrange to pick you up directly from the ferry terminal, provide a private, detailed tour of 10333 Chemainus Rd, and guide you through a personalized tour of the local Saltair beaches and the artistic heart of Chemainus so you can truly feel what it is like to live here. Once we have explored the area, I will safely return you directly to the ferry terminal.
