Beach Cottages with a Sociable Garden Courtyard
Freehold | Bareland Strata
Southlands Tsawwassen introduced the innovative courtyard cottage concept to Metro Vancouver in 2021, selling out quickly and winning a 2023 Georgie Award for single-family home design. Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to introduce our second release – the Beachcomber Cottages.
Beachcomber Cottages is an intimate enclave of detached cottages surrounding a sociable garden courtyard. Each cottage has its own unique beach character, inspired by Boundary Bay’s traditional cottages, with colourful exteriors and bright, open interiors. Efficient floorplans range from 1,320 – 1,410 SF across two levels, in configurations of two bedrooms and a den or three bedrooms. Either way, you have space for overnight guests and a home office or creative studio.With nine-foot ceilings on the main level and several operable windows, your home is filled with natural light and fresh sea breezes. Sliding glass doors extend living and dining rooms onto spacious decks, for outdoor entertaining year-round. An energy- efficient heat pump keeps your home pleasantly cool in the summer and cozy all winter.
All cottages face onto a beautifully landscaped courtyard fenced with split-rail timber. Residents will play bocce or do yoga on the lawn surrounded by flowering trees. Adirondack chairs are placed around a fire bowl and a harvest table is ready for long-table dinners. Outdoor lighting makes the garden an inviting space after the sun goes down.
Make every day a beach day. Home is directly across from Boundary Bay Regional Park and Centennial Beach. Follow the multi-use trail and you’ll be at the water’s edge in minutes. You’re also within an easy stroll of Market District’s cafés, restaurants, and farmers’ markets.
