Surrounded by rolling hills and mature forest, this warm and welcoming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rancher sits on a quiet and picturesque 5-acre parcel that borders over 1000 acres of parkland. Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully designed, the wood-sided home is nestled in a sunny clearing and features vaulted ceilings, wood beams, hardwood floors, and skylights that fill the space with natural light.
The custom kitchen offers generous storage, striking countertops, and a large island perfect for gathering. Sliding doors from the dining area lead to one of several entertaining decks with views over the gently sloping yard. The living room feels cozy with a woodstove and windows that frame the surrounding trees.
The spacious primary bedroom includes vaulted ceilings, French doors to a private deck, ample closet space, and a well-appointed 3-piece ensuite with heated floors and a walk-in tiled shower. One of the additional bedrooms features glass doors overlooking the garden area, while the main 4-piece bathroom also offers heated floors and a stylish vanity.
A functional laundry room provides a sink, storage, an exterior door, and space for a second fridge or freezer. A covered carport connects directly to the home and offers a versatile space for parking or outdoor living. The outdoor space is equally inviting, with a winding driveway, mature landscaping, a garden area, a pond, southern exposure, and a woodshed. Meandering trails lead around the property and connect directly to walking, biking, and riding paths in the adjacent park.
Serviced by a well and cisterns with filtration and UV systems, and topped with a durable metal roof, this home blends comfort with a strong connection to nature. Located close to the Village Core and ferries, it’s an ideal setting for those seeking the Gulf Island lifestyle. All information to be verified by a buyer if deemed important.
