Lakeside Modern Farmhouse

Our Lakeside Modern Farmhouse will soon be under construction in the Woodland Shores area of Lake Cowichan. This home was planned with affordability in mind and will feature cost-effective finishing choices without compromising on quality. The homeowners chose a two-story floor plan as opposed to a rancher with this in mind.

The Lakeside Modern Farmhouse will have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms once it is complete. The 784 sq. ft. main floor features open concept living while the upper floor hosts the bedrooms for this family. The home is 1,520 sq. ft. total over both levels, with a 384 sq. ft. attached garage.

The exterior of this home will feature board and batten siding, and a front porch with a standing seam steel roof. The black exterior window frames, painted front door, and rustic modern lighting fixtures will complete the modern farmhouse look.

The clients have planned contemporary and low-maintenance to complement their new home once it is complete. The front yard will mainly consist of blasted rock, with flower beds of shrubs and grasses surrounding the porch. The backyard will be split into four main activity zones using large stepping stones and pea gravel. Planter boxes, fruit trees, and evergreens are also planned for this lakeside home.
