About this home
An exceptional, versatile offering in sought-after Limekiln Cove, 2 neighbouring deep water oceanfront properties presenting a rare opportunity for redevelopment, investment or multi-generational living. 312 Bessborough Rd sits on 0.45 acres & is home to a West Coast Contemporary residence. The home is structurally sound & built to support a 2nd level, offering expansion potential. While the floorplan and design are aesthetically pleasing and the home well cared for this opportunity would be a remodellers dream with panoramic views from every room. Next door, 310 Bessborough Rd features an impressive 12,820 sqft lot. The property includes a licensed dock and is located in a Limekiln cove which provides full protection from weather. The east-facing yard enjoys all-day sun & the location at the end of a no-through street provides a secluded setting. The site offers building potential and would be well suited for level-entry living with a 1 or 2-story walkout design, or a main-level entry home with one level above and one below to fully capture the water views. A cabin, previously rented, sits close to the water and could serve as an ideal studio, office, or creative space while building. Together, these properties represent a rare development or lifestyle opportunity whether envisioned as a private family estate, redevelopment project, or two distinct waterfront holdings. Combined, they offer approximately three quarters of an acre and 240 feet of waterfront all with the rare advantage of 24/7 water access, unlike many surrounding properties that become tide-locked. Quietly tucked away along Limekiln Cove in View Royal, the location offers stunning views toward the Olympic Mountains, Esquimalt Harbour and Fisgard Lighthouse while remaining convenient minutes to Victoria General Hospital, Eagle Creek Village, recreation, and downtown Victoria. A unique chance to secure one or two exceptional properties in one of Greater Victoria’s most desirable coastal enclaves. (id:65179)
