About This Property

Like something whispered from the pages of a storybook, this enchanting off-grid lakefront retreat rests along the shimmering shores of Horne Lake on magical Vancouver Island. Hidden among towering evergreens and kissed by mountain light, this custom-crafted haven offers more than 1,300 square feet of warm and welcoming living space, with an additional 700-square-foot walkout lower level — a perfect hideaway for guests or cozy evenings by the fire. Nearly 700 square feet of sun-drenched patios and decks wrap the home like a royal terrace, inviting you to sip morning coffee as mist dances across the water or host twilight feasts beneath a sky scattered with stars. Set against the sparkling freshwater lake and cradled by untamed natural beauty, this retreat feels worlds away — yet it is the gateway to endless adventure. Here, days are filled with gentle boat rides across glassy waters, secret forest trails waiting to be discovered, refreshing swims in summer, and quiet moments casting a fishing line at golden dusk. Designed for modern comfort yet blessed with sustainable independence, this rare sanctuary offers more than a home — it offers a storybook life. If you’ve ever dreamed of waking to birdsong, breathing in cedar-scented air, and living where nature writes the rhythm of your days, this lakeside treasure is your happily-ever-after. Owner has just replaced the Generator with Lithium batteries and freshly stained exterior! This home must be seen to be appreciated.
