$3,200,000

This home is absolutely fabulous. This charming 5200 sq. ft. home is full of pleasant surprises and as many possibilities as you can think of. This custom home was built to high standards and it shows throughout with beams, french doors, 3 fireplaces, wood floors, large rooms each with their own character, window seats in all the bedrooms and upper bathrooms, fantastic indoor pool, gorgeous terrace and much, much more. Situated on a very private 7.92 acres at the very end of a no through road in Cobble Hill plus there is 700 ft. of Koksilah Riverfront to amaze you. You probably would find a terrific use for a 70 x 30 outbuilding with concrete floor and power. A shop would be terrific, coach house or enormous storage. This is a wonderful home to show so call me.

12 beautiful acres with a very cute 3 stall barn and an incredible 6,000 sq. ft. side by side duplex. Each wing is configured differently as one is for a family and the other for older parents. Each wing has its own double garage, heat pump and privacy. This duplex is joined by a foyer up and the entrance to a 70 x 30 huge green house which happens to house a 12 x 60 lap pool, hot tub and of course growing area. This property is unique which lends itself to a multitude of uses. Call me for more information on this private property. Offered at $899,900.

This is a home that will set you apart from norm with 46.25 acres on the Koksilah River, beautiful rolling land with stands of forest, huge hay fields, 2 man made lakes and landscaped groomed grounds around the 6500 sq. ft. home which provides you with a sanctuary rarely found. This large residence has had extensive and high end upgrades as expected in a home of this caliber. The Master suite is remarkable, the kitchen is to please a gourmet. Whether you live formally or casually this home will work. Give me a call for more more infomation. There are far too many benefits to even begin to list them here.

To live in a wonderful area, have a home that has had all the upgrades and improvements you could possible want and have a beautiful ground level legal suite to help with your mortgage. This 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home is 2910 sq. ft. of comfortable living with vaulted ceilings, river rock fireplace up and gas fireplace down, curved staircase, wood floors, 2 new kitchens with granite countertops and all of the bathrooms have been completely redone as well. This .99 acre property is perfect for your families needs and is very useable. At todays interest rates you could have a very comfortable life in your very comfortable home. Call me for your private viewing or more information. I would love to show this exceptional home to you.

10 beautiful and private acres with 2 residences, double carport with attached shop, new septic system for main house, storage building and small studio. The property has mature treed areas, fruit trees, garden areas, seasonal streams and ponds so the character of this acreage is terrific. The main home is a doublewide older mobile that is open, bright and has been lived in by the same family for 26 years.

The second home on this property is a very cute 1 bedroom cottage with a covered rocking chair porch and its own seperate driveway and there is great separation between the house and the cottage for privacy. This is a opportunity to have some land and homes at an affordable price. Call me for your private showing.

5 acres of park is what you will immediately notice when you drive through the gates to this property. White fencing, green lawns, lovely mature trees and landscaping, very pretty pond and large sand riding ring. The home is picturesque with french doors opening onto the wrap around covered porch which overlooks this acreage. The ground level and wheelchair friendly in-law wing is excellent acommodation for a family member or nanny situation. The separate in-law wing can be easily absorbed into the 4 bedroom home if space requires it. This property is very well cared for and would be perfect for horses with a very cute 4 stall barn with heated tack room and hot water. Call me on this excellent property located on Kingburne Drive in Cobble Hill Estates.

PET TIP: OK. Apparently no one wants poor Pete the feral with no canines that requires a barn where he will be fed. What about kittens? The SPCA is loaded with beautiful little babies. I even have 4 fosters in my bathroom which are finally getting healthy and will need their new homes shortly. Charlie is a very cute orange tabby and his sister Karmel a medium haired calico were in terrible shape and now are almost 100%. Pica and Polly are poly's. Pica has 6 toes on each front foot and 5 on one back. She is black and white and very sweet. Poly is a medium haired tabby with 7 toes on each front foot and the normal 4 on each back. Kittens don't go outside for a few months so this is perfect time for a baby. A kitten can be a 20 yr. commitment so think your decision through.

Make application at the Cowichan and District SPCA for any of the needy pets.

Down a funky little road that is home to eagles, otters, seals, swans, deer (and some world-class artists), this home has a contemporary look from the road but all-glass walls on the ocean side with a panoramic view (East, North and West). It’s called the “wow” wall as that is what everybody says when they see it. 3 bedrooms, den, exercise room, sauna, cathedral ceiling great room, West Coast wood cabinets, granite-like counters, center island with eating bar.

The lower level is for the pool table, theatre room, or private entrance 1 bedroom suite with a glass wall for the view (a small elevator is available for present or future disability). Share in the private wharf for mooring your fishing skiff. 10 year new home warranty.

242 Kenwood Road, Thetis Island There is a lot of marketable timber on this 10 acre property or you could use it to finish this custom partially renovated home. The house has vaulted ceilings with beams that have inscriptions on them in the entry. This home could be an open layout, whatever your dreams are. There is beach access just down the street. A very private property.

EVERY PET DESERVES A HAPPY HOME!

If you are wanting to provide a loving home for a new pet, please consider checking out our local SPCA. Many of these animals are surrendered thru no fault of their own and it’s heartbreaking to see some of the conditions that they have endured. The love and loyalty they will show you is beyond measure and you in turn will be happy knowing that you have given a shelter animal a second chance at a happy life!

The SPCA’S hours are Monday-Friday 10-5 pm and Saturday 10-12 pm.
