About This Property

MADERA is a rare West Coast Passive House project, featured by Passive House Canada as the Shady Mile Passive House, and one of very few homes of its kind on Vancouver Island. Here, architectural design, building science, and natural beauty come together on approximately 2 private acres. Tucked alongside McGarrigle Creek and surrounded by mature forest, old-growth cedars, professionally designed landscaping, wildflower-lined banks, and a tranquil water feature, the property feels peaceful, private, and deeply connected to nature. Inside, soaring spaces, warm wood accents, and carefully selected natural materials create a calm, refined atmosphere. Vancouver Island-sourced clear vertical grain fir is featured throughout, while passive-certified Vetta triple-glazed tilt-and-turn windows frame the forest beyond. A custom BBQ area adds a distinctive outdoor gathering space, completing a rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, efficiency, and West Coast living.
