Property Description

Set on nearly 10 acres over looking Fulford Valley, this exceptional rural farm offers the rare opportunity to embrace a true island homestead lifestyle. The 1999 farmhouse spans over 7,600 square feet and is filled with character, and sweeping valley views from nearly every vantage point. Solidly built for family living, the home features five spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a roughed-in ensuite, and an inviting country atmosphere awaiting your personal design vision. Expansive wrap-around sun decks create the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor entertaining, or simply taking in the peaceful pastoral surroundings and elevated outlook. The land itself is equally inspiring, offering a blend of sunny arable areas for gardening or hobby farming alongside a mature forested section suitable for selective harvesting. An established orchard includes more than 18 varieties of fruit and nut trees, some originally planted by the pioneering Lee family prior to the 1900s and still producing today — a rare and living connection to the area’s history. The unfinished 2,000 square foot walk-out basement presents outstanding flexibility for future development, whether envisioned as a workshop, studio, recreation space, guest or future in-law accommodation, or the ultimate indoor play area for active family life year-round. A detached studio with its own covered porch overlooks the pasture and offers further potential for creative endeavors. For outdoor enthusiasts, the property connects directly to Mount Maxwell Provincial Park, where spectacular hiking and panoramic ocean views await just beyond your backyard. A rare offering that combines solid construction, space, useable land and endless potential in one of Salt Spring Island’s most picturesque rural settings. (id:7434)
