Lovingly improved and meticulously cared for, it offers the perfect balance of comfort, character, and opportunity to make it your own. Perched in one of the island’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, this .86-acre property enjoys spectacular sunset views over the Salish Sea and vistas of St. Mary Lake, distant fields, and coastal mountains. Surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife, the setting is both private and serene. The fully fenced backyard is designed for enjoyment and easy maintenance, featuring irrigated garden beds, a powered garden shed, woodshed, fire pit, brick patio, and a custom wood-fired cedar sauna built in 2025. The remaining grounds offer open lawn, wildflowers, mature timber, and a large level area ideal for a future shop, greenhouse, or studio. A unique bonus is the fully serviced and secluded guest retreat, home to “Daisy,” a beautifully restored vintage Travelux trailer with its own driveway—perfect for visitors, rental potential income, or creative space. Inside, soaring 14-foot vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, exposed cedar beams, reclaimed wood accents, and thoughtful design create a warm modern farmhouse aesthetic. Extensive recent upgrades mean virtually every aspect of the home has been refreshed or improved. Additional features include a new oversized septic system (2020), engineered hardwood flooring, interior and exterior paint, upgraded electrical fixtures and receptacles, organic wool carpeting, new deck railings, workshop/tool room, insulated crawlspace, and numerous outdoor entertaining areas. Ideally located just 2 minutes from the Vesuvius ferry, 6 minutes from Ganges, and close to St. Mary Lake, sports fields, tennis courts, theatre, and shopping. A rare opportunity to enjoy island living at its finest. (id:53361)
