There’s something unexpected about 960 Harbour View Place. You turn onto the quiet cul-de-sac and arrive somewhere that feels almost hidden. The property unfolds slowly with mature gardens layered with texture and colour, ponds alive with goldfish, stonework softened by time, and a kind of privacy that makes you forget you're in one of Bowen Island's most coveted neighbourhoods - Cates Hill.
It’s the sort of home where summer dinner parties drift naturally from the kitchen onto the deck, where mornings begin outside with coffee overlooking the view, and where evenings are spent listening to the gentle sounds of the garden while the light fades over the island.
Inside, the home feels grounded. Flat grain oak floors run throughout, giving the spaces a quiet richness without trying too hard. The main living areas are bright and open, connected constantly to the outdoors through large windows and easy access doors to the nearly 384 sf of decking, with electric retractable awnings. Everywhere you look, there’s greenery, sky, or glimpses of the view beyond.
The outdoor spaces feel considered rather than manicured. Hardscaped patios, established plantings, and pockets of sun and shade make the property feel lived in and deeply cared for. Attached to the garage, a separate guest suite with its own bathroom offers flexibility for visitors, family, or a peaceful work-from-home setup tucked slightly away from the main house.

And then there’s the location, which quietly becomes one of the home’s best features. From here, you can be in Snug Cove or Artisan Square within minutes grabbing coffee, catching the ferry, walking the shoreline, or heading out onto Bowen’s network of trails and beaches before returning home to a place that feels entirely removed from it all.
