1457 Howcrest Rd, North Saanich
Lands End · Single Family Residence · MLS® 1036967 · Listed May 16, 2026
Set in a tranquil forest and surrounded by flowering gardens, this unique, architect-designed home as featured in Seaside Magazine challenges our ideas about living within nature. Located in the heart of a 25 acre wilderness, this post-and-beam structure on three levels is a rugged but architecturally refined expression of West Coast living rendered in an ‘industrial aesthetic’ through heated concrete floors, steel & rough-sawn wood stairs and exposed structure. Its most important feature, however, is how this design brings the forest into the home via nearly un-interrupted walls of windows, skylights, and decks on every floor. From the generous entrance-way through the gourmet kitchen, sauna and a spa-inspired primary suite to the completely open and interconnected spaces - the home feels larger that its actual size and offers a unique character. For the discerning homeowner who values design, environmental integration, outdoor life and a place that is truly special.
