About the Property
Zigguratus (Ziggy) is the name of this iconic float home at Fisherman's Wharf — one of Victoria's most recognized waterfront addresses. The copper roof and cedar shingles, weathered to a stunning coastal patina, make it instantly recognizable from anywhere on the docks.
This two-level float home offers a rare opportunity for true waterfront living in the heart of the city. The main floor features a full kitchen with newer faucets, open dining area, and a spacious living room with wrap-around windows framing harbour views. French doors open to a generous sun deck — your personal kayak and paddle board launch.
The updated full bathroom features newer faucets, a full tub (2022/23), and a new macerating toilet (2026). A loft-level storage space connects to the third-floor bedroom retreat with its own private balcony above the waterline.
Professionally built and meticulously maintained on a steel frame with new Envirofloat flotation (2025). The 2025 addition added a full second storey. Updates include Ecotemp propane on-demand hot water, WETT-approved propane fireplace, 30A/110V + 100A circuit, and a full propane safety system. City water and Victoria Sewer connection.
Fully furnished. Monthly: Moorage $715 | Float Services $132.60 | Water $18.26 | Propane $123.14 (~$989 total). Live on the water in one of Canada's most walkable cities.
