7371 Lakefront Dr

Nearly new and move-in ready, this 2020-built home sits on a landscaped 0. 36-acre lot in sought-after Woodland Shores, just across from Cowichan Lake with lake-view glimpses and exclusive access to moorage at the nearby community marina. A gate off the backyard opens right onto a neighbourhood park and playground.

Inside, main-level living centres on an open great room with wood stove, hardwood floors and board-and-batten detailing, flowing into a bright kitchen with quartz counters, gas range, glass-front cabinetry and peninsula seating. A laundry and walk-in pantry with butcher-block counters and a one-year-old washer and dryer keeps daily life organized. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and spa ensuite with double vanity, walk-in shower and infrared sauna.

Two more bedrooms on the main, plus a vaulted bonus room with its own bath upstairs, leave room for guests, a home office or hobbies. Outdoors is made for lake-country summers. The covered patio with wood-burning fireplace, TV and patio heaters steps down to a big pool deck and above-ground pool in the fully fenced yard, with raised garden beds and a charming she-shed.

Upgrades include a solar array, heat pump with A/C, automated lighting and water purification. The oversized double garage has room for a boat, there is RV parking, and a huge 2,000+ sq ft walk-in crawl space with workshop offers exceptional storage. Life here revolves around Cowichan Lake, one of the largest and most pristine lakes on Vancouver Island, known for swimming, paddling, boating and trout fishing.

Hike and bike the Trans Canada Trail and surrounding forest trails, float the Cowichan River, and catch the Sunfest Country Music Festival at nearby Laketown Ranch each summer. The Town of Lake Cowichan, with its lakeside parks and beaches, is just minutes away for shops, dining and everyday services, and Duncan is about 30 minutes away. An ideal year-round home or the perfect lakeside getaway.
