$3,500 · Stunning 4 Bedroom 1.4 Acre Property in Otter Point for Rent Ocean Views

Stunning property in Sooke/Otter Point available for rental August 1 or September 1, 2024! Enjoy all the incredible West Coast has to offer, close to the amenities of Sooke and a very reasonable drive to Langford and Victoria, but tucked in at Otter Point. Sooke and Otter Point have so much to offer – rugged natural beaches, stunning hiking trails, and beautiful wildlife! (expect to see lots of rabbits, deer, eagles, and occasionally even black bears!) On a very quiet road just off of West Coast Rd, you will find “Skyview”, which I have the pleasure of offering up for rent beginning in August or September 2024. Please do not respond to this ad with “Is this available?” – send me some information about yourself and your family, and we can arrange a viewing time. • 1.4 acre property, shared between a workshop (rented to owner’s brother), a spacious 1 basement suite (with own private driveway – see separate ad), and main 4 bedroom house (this ad) • Built in 2005, minimal updates but new appliances and significant maintenance done upon purchase of the property • Approximately 10 minutes from “downtown Sooke”; 10 minutes in the other direction to Shirley; a 45 minute drive to Victoria; and 30 minute drive to Langford • $3500/month, water is included but garbage pickup, electrical, and gas are not • Security deposit $1750 • 1 year rental agreement preferred • Credit check and references are required • Smoking outdoors only please! • Tenant insurance is the responsibility of the tenant and is recommended • Pets are welcome with approval, with additional pet deposit of $1000 and a signed pet agreement • Usage of the yard and property is shared with the lower tenants and owner’s brother; separation of the spaces if requested can be arranged between tenants or through the landlord • Features of house include: o 4 bedrooms (downstairs bedroom has own ensuite bathroom and separate entrance, which would make it perfect if you have a home business and see clients); each have very nice closet space attached (master bedroom has very large walk-in closet with laundry that is basically a small extra room and is also accessible from the hallway to preserve privacy if other household members are using the laundry here; one of the other upstairs bedrooms has a very large walk-in closet as well; the third upstairs bedroom has a slightly smaller but still spacious closet, as does the bedroom on the main floor) o Another small “bonus room” area can be found on the main floor – it could be a small office, craft room, or storage area/pantry o 2 full bathrooms (bathtub, shower, and toilet) and one half bath (toilet/sink only); ensuite bathroom off master bedroom has LARGE soaker tub and separate shower (plus views of the ocean from the bath) o Gas fireplace in living room and gas stove (heat other than fireplace is baseboards) o Dishwasher o Laundry upstairs off master bedroom o Amazing views of the ocean and surrounding nature; wraparound balconies on main and upper floors give a spectacular view and let you enjoy the ocean air o Large separate storage space off courtyard, heated and has electrical outlets o Charger for electric vehicles o Large driveway/parking area o Garden shed (no electricity); may be somewhat shared with landlord/landlord’s brother for garden supplies or tools o Property is on a septic field (recently serviced); water comes from the city (not a well) • This house is really spectacular, and a wonderful space to be in. There is so much light, the views are incredible (especially from the upper floor, but also from the kitchen and living area and of course from all the balconies), and the gas fireplace in the main living area makes it really cozy (although by cozy I do not mean small – this is a big open concept kitchen/living room space that would be great for entertaining!) Suitable for professionals looking for lots of space in a peaceful area, or families looking for many bedrooms! • This could be a good arrangement for two couples to share, with two bedrooms each, given the house's layout (the kitchen and living room area would be shared). • The landlord’s brother will be living in the workshop/garage and assisting with maintenance of the property; gardening is definitely an option for you to whatever extent you might enjoy, but it is not expected or required. Landlord’s brother is 31 years old, quiet and respectful with no pets or children, and he builds guitars – his workshop is not noisy at all.
