Nestled deep in the heart of Cedar Hill, this idyllic home-away-from-home will delight you in every way imaginable! Garry Oaks abound, as do all sorts of wildlife songbirds and hummingbirds populate the gardens while eagles soar overhead, and deer roam the peaceful neighbourhood. From its vantage point atop mossy rocks, the neighbouring houses seem to disappear into the trees, giving Hilltop Retreat a secluded tranquility. The landscaped front garden is ideal to greet the morning sun with coffee, while the back garden is perfect for either intimate soiree relaxing in the hammock, or an evening get-together around the barbecue.

Hilltop Retreat is architecturally mid-century modern, and boasts numerous west coast touches, including coved ceilings in the bedrooms, and post-and-beam features in the living area. The split-level configuration has just three steps from the bedrooms to the living area, then out into the spacious gardens. The entire home is always bright and cheery, thanks to skylights and expansive picture windows fore and aft. The library's sphere chair is just right to curl up in and enjoy a good book, while the living room is perfect for relaxing over drinks and conversation near the cozy fireplace. The teak dining room table usually seats four, but expands to accommodate six or more diners for larger dinner parties.

Bus routes are close by, and four major plazas with supermarkets, coffee shops, theatres and drugstores are within easy walking distance. Hilltop Retreat is a ten minute drive from the University of Victoria, Cadboro Bay Village, Gyro Park beach, and just fifteen minutes to downtown Victoria, Oak Bay, and Esquimalt. The international airport, BC Ferries, and Washington State Ferries are all less than a half hours drive, as is the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Verging on expanses of farmland and deep rain forests, it's a hiker and cyclists dream locale. Many other activities abound, including numerous golf courses, boat rentals, whale-watching, and so much more!

Please note that there is a separate caretaker or renter residence on the property.
