Description
Set on a private 3-acre woodland retreat, this exceptional rural estate offers a rare blend of privacy, beauty, and versatility. Thoughtfully composed of multiple dwellings, the property supports a lifestyle defined by calm, creativity, and connection to nature. The main residence offers over 1,800 sq ft with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Exposed beams, refined finishes, and a renovated kitchen create an inviting home, while a full-height unfinished basement provides generous storage and workshop space. Set well apart from the main home is a fully independent 800+ sq ft residence, wheelchair accessible and the option for short term rentals, with vaulted ceilings, covered porch, and its own driveway. A converted workshop now serves as a 1,200 sq ft bunkhouse with two bedrooms and full bath, alongside a charming log cabin ideal for a studio or retreat. Just 30 minutes from Victoria, this is a property of rare character and quiet distinction.
