Description
Welcome to a turn-key homestead or market garden on nearly 10 acres in Deep Merville-a village-like community known for its quiet roads, welcoming neighbours, and strong local connection. This rare property offers privacy, productivity, and real agricultural potential-ideal for families, small-scale farmers, or anyone dreaming of a more intentional lifestyle. At the heart of the property is a warm and spacious 3-level home with exposed beams, a cozy wood stove, and an open-concept layout. The generous kitchen looks out over the growing beds and is filled with natural light and possibility. The updated 5-piece bathroom adds comfort, and whitewashed tongue-and-groove ceilings run throughout, giving the home character and warmth. With seven bedrooms and four bathrooms, there's flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or income potential. Downstairs, the mostly finished basement includes an in-law suite and a dedicated grow room complete with shelving and lights, with room to expand. The land is fully equipped for a working market garden or homestead. You'll find established landscape-fabric beds, a greenhouse, and a commercial-grade processing setup: walk-in cooler with CoolBot system, bubbler, and electric spinner. Irrigation is powered by a high-pressure pump drawing from a 15-foot-deep dugout. Market tents, bins, and display gear are included. A large barn supports multiple animal types, and a drive shed-with an enclosed unfinished cabin-is perfect for storage or your next project. Several outbuildings, including a workshop and Quonset hut, provide storage and workspace. Infrastructure for up to 150 chickens is in place, with nearby cleared forest perfect for rotational or woodland pasture. For a showing, call or text 778-585-3702 (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.
