Description

Conveniently located in the SRD between Campbell River (35 minutes away) and Sayward, this 12.8 acre piece of paradise awaits you. Fully landscaped with a perimeter of trees, the privacy is unfounded, with a nicely updated family home, garden area, separate barn with tack stalls and loft, and acres of grassed areas for horses, or just room for kids to run! The home features a massive primary bedroom with it's own woodstove and wall to wall windows and patio overlooking the sprawling oasis and the mountain views. The 2nd bedroom off the primary is ideal as a nursery or for toddlers. The main living area is open and inviting with updated flooring and beautiful country kitchen. Downstairs you find a spacious family room plus an extra rec room for your gym, as well as a basement workshop, with an additional 700 sq/ft attached shop. There is an abundance of fruit trees, berry bushes and garden beds for the avid gardener. New perimeter drains in 2022 and new septic in 2016. Fantastic opportunity for a hobby farm exists here.
