Introducing Kingsmount - a landmark estate in prestigious Oak Bay. Perched atop Gonzales Hill on nearly an acre of exquisitely landscaped grounds, this residence stands among Victoriaâs most distinguished architectural treasures. Originally designed by renowned architects Samuel Maclure and Francis Rattenbury, with a later addition by D.C. Frame, Kingsmount is a masterful expression of British Arts and Crafts design, where heritage craftsmanship meets refined modern luxury. A grand entry with original 100-year-old marble flooring sets a tone of timeless elegance. Ten-foot ceilings, oak flooring throughout the main level, and extraordinary original detailing speak to impeccable provenance. The main floor is ideal for intimate gatherings and grand-scale entertaining, offering an impressive living room, music room, library, private office, sitting room, and a chefâs kitchen anchored by a statement fireplace. A bright marble-floored sunroom opens to an extensive stone patio, gardens, and uninterrupted sightlines to the ocean and Mt. Baker beyond, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle rarely found in Oak Bay. Upstairs, the stately primary suite is accompanied by five additional bedrooms, many with fireplaces and walk-in closets. Fir flooring throughout the upper level adds warmth and continuity. The lower level offers a private guest suite with separate entrance, wine room, and workshopâideal for extended family, guests, or staff. The grounds are enchanting: mature trees, garden pathways, water features, and expansive patios provide serene privacy and a setting that has hosted countless elegant gatherings. Located on one of Oak Bayâs most beautiful and coveted lanes, just steps to Gonzales Hill Park and minutes to beaches, trails, Oak Bay Village, top schools, Victoria Golf Club, fine dining, and boutique shopping.
