A unique opportunity to acquire the 'Grouse Nest Lodge'; a substantial ±83.5-acre oceanfront estate in the serene East Sooke area, offering significant development potential in one of Vancouver Island’s most naturally beautiful and rapidly evolving coastal communities. This remarkable property features a mix of old-growth forest, open clearings, and nearly a full kilometre of low-bank waterfront along the sheltered waters of Sooke Harbour. The parcel is zoned for mixed-use and is positioned to support a variety of future land uses, including medium-density residential, eco-tourism, and potential marine-related amenities. With its expansive size, zoning flexibility, and proximity to essential services and transportation infrastructure, 1424 Gillespie Road represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a signature waterfront community, retreat, or resort development on Vancouver Island’s west coast
