5177 Agate Lane

Experience true West Coast living with this spectacular walk-on beachfront oasis, perfectly situated in the heart of Cordova Bay—just 20 minutes from downtown Victoria and 15 minutes from the airport. This rare property offers the ultimate blend of luxury, comfort, and income potential, featuring a beautifully renovated main residence and a detached multi-unit carriage house. Thoughtfully reimagined, the main home offers a warm, modern coastal aesthetic with upscale finishes throughout. Recent renovations include an extensive interior restoration and fresh exterior paint, custom in-floor heating, and new flooring that flows seamlessly through bright, open-concept spaces. Walls were removed to enhance sightlines and connection, and the result is a space that feels both expansive and intimate.

The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, boasting bespoke cabinetry, double dishwashers and refrigerators, a farmhouse sink, and a stunning La Cornue oven imported from France. Adjacent, the elegant dining and living areas are framed by beadboard ceilings, custom millwork, and a striking Rumford wood-burning fireplace. Two sets of storm-proof iron and steel French doors open directly to the sandy beach, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. French doors off the primary living space lead to a private upper deck complete with a moonlit hot tub—perfect for soaking in the stars after a day by the sea. Each of the three bathrooms has been fully renovated with high-end fixtures and spa-like ambiance, completing the home’s transformation into a modern retreat.

Surrounded by wisteria-draped gables and mature hydrangeas and rhododendrons, the grounds are as inviting as the interiors. Paths lined with low-maintenance artificial turf and a custom substrate connect the buildings, while direct beach access makes launching kayaks, paddleboards, or enjoying sunset strolls effortless. The detached carriage house offers two stylish, self-contained suites—an upper two-bedroom with in-suite laundry and a lower one-bedroom—both newly refreshed with paint and carpeting. Fully furnished and move-in ready, they are ideal for guests, extended family, or high-yield rentals, with projected income between $70,000 and $90,000 annually.

Whether hosting beachside gatherings, retreating into peaceful oceanfront privacy, or enjoying the flexibility of additional living space and income, this residence delivers an extraordinary lifestyle. Chosen as a filming location for the 2023 Hollywood movie Making Waves, the property embodies timeless coastal elegance and offers a rare opportunity to own a true beachfront legacy in one of Vancouver Island’s most sought-after communities.
