In case you couldn’t tell, we have an affinity for unique and outstanding architecture. Today we get a prime example of both, the Metchosin House. This award-winning home is the brainchild of architect Marko Simcic. Located in British Columbia, the home is currently on the market. The dwelling sits on 67 acres of oceanfront on the coast of Vancouver Island.
Designed to live harmoniously with the Garry Oak savannah, the design calls one of Canada’s most endangered natural ecosystems it’s home. The structure sits on a concrete armature, which is clear of tree root zones. The dwelling features a central canyon river that carries in hydrothermal seawater to power the home. Inside we find 10,700-square-feet of space with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and gorgeous living spaces.
The living areas are host to unrivaled views of the ocean and the Olympic Mountain range, framed by windows throughout. The property also includes 1,400 linear feet of shoreline and private beach, and an integrated boathouse with a mechanical launch.
Ready to upgrade your living situation? Well, here is an excellent opportunity to do so.
