Description
Welcome to your 12-acre retreat in one of the Cowichan Valley's most sought-after rural locations. Featuring gently rolling fields, excellent sun exposure, beautiful views, and endless possibilities, this is the kind of property that rarely comes available. Whether you've dreamed of creating a hobby farm, raising horses, growing your own food, building gardens, or operating a farm stand, this versatile acreage is ready for your vision. The property includes an irrigation pond, a seasonal creek, and a treed hillside at the rear, offering a wonderful mix of open pasture, natural beauty, and privacy. The home offers over 2,300 of living space and is filled with potential. The main floor features a welcoming entry with hardwood flooring, a spacious kitchen with island and charming built-in ironing cupboard, a generous living room and dining room, two bedrooms, laundry room, and an updated bathroom. Step outside to the large rear patio overlooking the fields, an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or summer BBQ's. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms (without closets), an older bathroom, cold room, and a large unfinished space that could become a family room, games room, workshop, or additional living area. Outside you'll also find a 530 sq ft detached double garage, an older chicken coop, and a cold storage building, providing plenty of room for projects, equipment, and hobbies. While the home requires updating, it presents an exceptional opportunity to renovate, build equity, and create a country estate tailored to your lifestyle. The true value lies in the outstanding land, exceptional location, and the opportunity to own a property that has been cherished by the same family for more than seven decades. Properties like this are increasingly difficult to find. If you've been searching for usable acreage, in a rural setting, and the chance to create your dream lifestyle this is an opportunity you won't want to miss. (id:63159)

Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
