Sunny and quiet 5.25 acre haven in Metchosin, Vancouver Island. 25 minutes from downtown Victoria. Beautiful and thoughtfully laid out with every square inch of land maximized while maintaining total privacy. Quaint but spacious 4 bedroom (3 up, 1 down), 2.5 bathroom cape cod style home with double car garage. Has been fully renovated over the past few years. Features hardwood throughout and a bright new custom kitchen with lots of counter space. Outside, the property is fenced for dogs and livestock and boasts so much. Fruit trees, flowers galore, a garden and greenhouse, pond, huge west facing deck, hot tub, 18 foot above ground pool, small arena, 2 barns, chicken coop as well as 3 animal shelters and a woodshed. As a bonus, there is a site prepped for a garden expansion and a hole dug to build a root cellar should you choose to. The newest barn is 32x22 and was built with trees harvested from the property. It is a beauty and has lots of room for animals or toys with a loft for hay or other storage. The rest of the property is a fenced and cross-fenced silvopasture of fir, cedar, arbutus, alder, and maple with grasses, ferns and mosses decorating the hillsides. This special property has blessed our family for over 15 years and we are excited to share it.
