1708 Woodsend Drive

Welcome to 1708 Woodsend Drive, a rare and remarkable offering set on nearly 11 acres of private, gated, and fully fenced land — only 15 minutes from downtown Victoria, yet feeling worlds away in its serenity. This seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom country manor blends sophisticated European design with resort-style amenities, crafted for those who value privacy, luxury, and timeless elegance. The residence is effectively a brand-new home. In 2024, it underwent a full architectural transformation under the expertise of White Wolf Homes, involving a down-to-the-studs renovation. Every major system and finish — from electrical and plumbing to flooring and cabinetry — has been replaced and upgraded to the highest standards. A new wing was added, along with expanded principal rooms, a redesigned grand foyer, and an elegant porte-cochère.

Upon entry through the grand 12-foot mahogany doors, you’re welcomed by a grand foyer with nearly 20-foot ceilings, and stone flooring inlaid with marble. The home unfolds into expansive living and entertaining areas featuring exotic hardwood flooring, custom millwork, stone fireplaces, and spectacular formal living and dining rooms. A sunroom, music room, designer bathrooms, private office, home theatre, and sauna further enhance the living experience….

The gourmet kitchen features premium Wolf gas range, Miele double ovens, dishwasher, deluxe coffee station, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and freezer, and an oversized island with bar seating. Adjacent to the kitchen a generous eating area offers more casual space for family meals, and the delightful family room is bathed in sunlight and a cherished place to gather and relax…A dedicated butler’s kitchen and two laundry rooms with high-capacity appliances make both entertaining and family living seamless.

The primary suite offers a luxurious 5-piece bathroom inspired by the grand marble ensuite baths at the famed Ritz hotel in Paris. A gas fireplace, Electric blackout shades, enormous walk-in closets and a private lounge/sunroom are also featured here.

A separate two-bedroom guest suite with private kitchen and living spaces is ideal for family or guests and connected to the main house through a dramatic glass-walled breezeway gallery.

Outdoor amenities include an Olympic-sized tennis/basketball court, oversized pool with lounging deck, fully restored pool house, and multiple sitting/dining areas. The estate features professional landscaping, stone-paved terraces, a fountain, firepit, and spacious garages and workshops.

Built with Nelson Island granite, stucco, new windows and lights, re-sheeted roof with Owens Corning shingles, modern heating systems, and organized mechanical rooms, this home is as functional as it is elegant.

Whether you’re an entertainer, a large family, or someone who values refined living, 1708 Woodsend Drive offers a lifestyle without compromise. From its impeccable renovation to its breathtaking indoor and outdoor spaces, this estate is not just a residence — it’s a legacy property
