A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITY ON WHIDBY LANE. Perched on a spectacular 13,000+ sq ft northwest-facing waterfront lot, this rare Whidby Lane property presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of Sidney's most coveted waterfront settings. With a solid seawall, private beach access, breathtaking sunsets, and an easy walk to Sidney's vibrant waterfront and shops, the true value lies in the setting, the lifestyle, and the remarkable potential that awaits. Capturing warm afternoon sunshine and stunning year-round sunsets, this exceptional property embodies the very essence of West Coast waterfront living. The existing residence has reached the end of its chapter, creating a rare opportunity to design and build a custom waterfront home that reflects your vision, lifestyle, and legacy. The property features a well-maintained seawall with private stairs to the beach, offering direct access to the shoreline and an ever-changing coastal panorama. Backing onto Roberts Bay, a protected bird sanctuary, the setting is rich with natural beauty, providing a unique sense of privacy, tranquility, and connection to nature seldom found so close to town. Opportunities of this calibre are increasingly rare, particularly on one of Sidney's most prestigious waterfront streets, where properties are often cherished by the same families for generations. Tucked away on a quiet lane with an exclusive feel, yet just moments from Beacon Avenue, you'll enjoy convenient access to Sidney's boutiques, restaurants, cafes, marinas, and everyday amenities. Whether your vision is a world-class waterfront residence designed to capture the spectacular outlook, or exploring the property's potential under recent zoning changes for a duplex, triplex, or fourplex (buyers to verify development opportunities), the possibilities are compelling. More than a property, this is a rare chance to create a lasting waterfront legacy in one of Vancouver Island's most desirable seaside communities. (id:56153)
