Set on 5.91 private acres in south Nanaimo, this architecturally striking build pairs a moody black exterior with soaring cedar-clad ceilings and walls of glass, framing forest views on one side and coast mountain and distant ocean views on the other. Inside, a great room anchored by a concrete fireplace wall flows into a chef's kitchen with waterfall quartz counters and integrated wood cabinetry. The primary suite offers a freestanding soaker tub, dual floating vanities, and a private patio opening straight to forest. A fully finished lower level adds flexible recreation and fitness space. Outside, 4 of the 6 acres are fenced and irrigated, with a fenced sports court, powered treehouse, and a 100,000-litre rainwater capture system. Off-grid capable with 26kW solar and dual Tesla Powerwalls, plus a 465' well. Manicured landscaping and stone pathways lead through native grasses and boulders to a gated entry.
