Description

''Bigfoot Acres'' 8 private acres in Black Creek give this rancher room most listings in the area cannot match. A gated, long driveway leads past forest to a sun-filled clearing around the home. The approx. 1,584 sq. ft. rancher has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, refreshed with a documented upgrade list. The kitchen is fully modern, with new cabinetry, solid-wood hardware, stone countertops, and high-end appliances, ready for morning coffee with the clearing in view. A new wood stove warms the living room through winter. Two mini-split heat pumps condition the main living space and primary bedroom, and radiant floor heat main bathroom. Home & shop both received new roofs & gutters in 2025, and the home's electrical panel, wiring, insulation, drywall, paint in & out, trim, most windows & skylights, front door, hot-water tank have all been upgraded. The main bathroom, half bathroom, laundry were updated as well. Detached, insulated, painted 500 sq. ft. outbuilding runs on a new subpanel & 240V plug, ready as a workshop or another permitted use. Two wells, one drilled & one shallow, the drilled well feeds a new pressure tank & UV filtration system. Property: A separate driveway (not currently used) off MacAulay Rd can access the lower property, with potential for a secondary dwelling, cleared trails, a raised platform with a glamping pod, and camping area are set up for get away use. At approx. 3.24 hectares, the parcel clears the RU-8 threshold for 2 dwellings, or a carriage house, secondary suite, or dwelling up to 90 square meters alongside the home, & meets the 2-hectare minimum for an animal kennel; agricultural use & a riding academy are also permitted, all subject to CVRD confirmation & permits. The upgrades add long-term value, few Black Creek listings match. Minutes to Oyster River, Saratoga and Miracle beaches, the marina, golf club, coffee, & groceries. Walk the trails, look for Bigfoot signs & see the potential at a private showing. (id:63159)
