8 DETACHED BEACH COTTAGES WITH A SHARED COURTYARD
Freehold | Bareland Strata
Southlands is proud to introduce an innovative home type to Metro Vancouver with these 8 detached cottages facing a shared courtyard where social life unfolds. The 2 and 3-bedroom homes feature their own generous decks, private enclosed yards, and abundant storage for kayaks, bikes, and other outdoor gear. Each has its own unique beach character, with design inspired by Boundary Bay’s traditional cottages. Kitchens celebrate the joy of cooking and bathrooms are simply beautiful. French doors extend living and dining rooms onto spacious decks, for outdoor entertaining year-round. Families prepare feasts in the courtyard’s outdoor kitchen, where herbs go straight from the allotment garden to the pizza oven. Games of bocce on the lawn give way to long-table dinners and conversation by the fire as the scent garden wafts fragrance.
