Blue Raven Lux Estate · Golf · Pickleball · Dock | House in Galiano Island
4 Bedroom House in Sturdies Bay, Galiano Island
THE ESTATE
Set on 9.4 fully gated and fenced acres along Whaler's Bay, Blue Raven is a rare waterfront estate on one of British Columbia's most beloved Gulf Islands. The property encompasses 2,400 feet of low-bank walk-out shoreline along the Salish Sea — private, protected, and entirely yours for the duration of your stay.
The estate includes two additional private residences — one for the caretaker, one occasionally used by the owner — each completely separate from the Main House and not visible from it. You will not see them, hear them, or encounter them. For all practical purposes, the Main House and its grounds are your own private world.
Galiano is the sunniest and driest of the Southern Gulf Islands — an ideal setting for a property built around outdoor living.
THE MAIN HOUSE
Blue Raven's custom Cape Cod-style Main House was designed to make the most of its waterfront position. Every single room faces the water. The architecture is sophisticated without being formal — reclaimed hemlock flooring sourced from a 1950s Quebec homestead, custom Douglas fir library paneling, Carrara marble bathrooms, and three Bocci chandeliers throughout.
The gourmet kitchen is built for gathering — Arctic White granite, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, six-burner gas range with grill, second oven, and two dishwashers. The Douglas fir-paneled library and media room is the kind of room you settle into for an evening and do not want to leave.

OUTDOOR LIVING
With approximately 2,200 square feet of covered verandas, Blue Raven was made for spending time outside. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the shoreline is accessible directly from the property.
On the estate you will find a four-hole golf course with artificial turf greens, a five-hole frisbee golf course, a full-size pickleball court, shuffleboard, kayaks, a stand-up paddle board, corn hole, and multiple outdoor seating and fire areas. The deep-water dock sits right on Whaler's Bay — swim in the Salish Sea, tie up a boat, or simply sit at the edge of the water with your morning coffee and watch the light change over the Gulf Islands.
GETTING HERE

Seair Seaplanes offers scheduled flights from Vancouver Harbour directly to Montague Harbour on Galiano. Montague is approximately 10 minutes from Blue Raven.

GOOD TO KNOW
This listing covers the Main House only. Blue Raven is part of a larger private estate. The two additional residences on the property — caretaker and owner — are situated entirely out of sight and do not share any common areas, views, or access points with the Main House. In practical terms, you have the Main House, the full 9.4 acres of grounds, the shoreline, and all estate amenities entirely to yourself.
