The main house at Alder Cove Estate is very special indeed. Built in the history of the grand old seaside mansions of Cape Cod, this 8000 square foot home embodies casual elegance with a west coast flare.

Vancouver architects, Mark Osburn and Wayne Clarke, who are well known for their specialty in coastal and island homes, were asked to design a home that would be a 'grand cottage' that took full advantage of the spectacular views south over the Straight of Georgia..

It was designed to accommodate large gatherings and quiet family times with equal grace and comfort; to be both sophisticated and cozy.
