Remarkable oceanfront residence
Luxury meets Lifestyle - 15 mins from downtown
Owl’s Landing is a multiple award-winning 11-acre gated estate, completed in 2025 by White Wolf Homes and recognized with CARE Awards including Best Renovation over $1.5M and Best Designer Kitchen.
Created in response to a simple reality that comparable properties did not exist, the residence was taken to the studs and comprehensively rebuilt and expanded. Every system, finish, and structural component has been newly executed, resulting in a home that delivers the performance and certainty of new construction within the presence of an established estate setting.
Arrival is deliberate. A covered porte-cochère leads to oversized custom 12-foot entry doors, opening into a grand foyer where 20-foot ceilings and an antique Schonbek chandelier establish scale and presence from the outset. From this point forward, the home maintains a consistent standard, with materials and detailing carried across the entire structure rather than concentrated on first impressions.
The interior spans approximately 13,000 square feet of finished living space, designed to balance scale with livability. Main living areas feature exotic hardwood floors and stone fireplaces, creating warm, inviting spaces that frame views of the grounds and open easily to the outdoors for true indoor/outdoor living. Principal rooms are proportioned for both daily use and larger gatherings, while a series of integrated lifestyle spaces elevate the experience of the home. A dedicated spa with sauna, theatre and games areas, and seamless transitions to outdoor living define a property that is equally suited to quiet retreat or full-scale entertaining.
Outdoors, the estate continues to deliver. A pool anchors the grounds alongside the full sized tennis and basketball courts, all positioned within a mature, tree-lined landscape that provides immediate privacy and a sense of permanence rarely found in newer properties.
The primary suite functions as a true retreat, complete with a large customized dressing room and an ensuite inspired by the refined detailing of the Ritz-Carlton Paris. The result is elegant, balanced, and intentionally understated.
Flexibility is built into the design. A fully self-contained suite above the garage accommodates guests, extended family, or staff. The oversized three-bay garage offers substantial capacity without compromising the architectural integrity of the home, while a separate barn or workshop and expansive acreage introduce further potential for additional structures or long-term evolution of the estate.
While the setting feels private and distinctly rural, Owl’s Landing is positioned just 15 minutes from downtown Victoria, approximately 25 minutes to the airport and BC ferry terminals, and within close proximity to some of the region’s most regarded private schools. Immediate access to key routes allows for efficient travel without the congestion typical of surrounding areas.
Opportunities to acquire a fully rebuilt, award-winning estate of this caliber, where the work is complete, the setting is established, and the location is this accessible, are increasingly rare. Owl’s Landing is a truly timeless legacy property, ideal for large family gatherings, celebrating milestones, hosting special events and creating lasting memories across generations.
