Beautiful Maple Bay area home on two peaceful acres with wonderful Quamichan Lake views. Set on a quiet no thru road a few minutes to Duncan, this home was built 7 years ago to suit the current owners with future development in mind.

Rich, solid fir finishing, stamped concrete verandahs, big windows looking out to the view and letting the light in. A heat pump, gas range and fireplace, soaker tub in the master and lots of room for toys outside are some of the qualities that make this such a special home. Live in this comfortable home while the potential development of this land becomes more valuable. An outstanding location, come have a look for yourself.

This is a great opportunity to own your home! This is an older double wide with wheelchair ramp, level entry & one floor living. The 2 bedrooms face the ocean with a peek at the water & Saltspring Island. For outdoor recreation, there are many nearby hiking/biking trails, fishing in Crofton Lake and a short walk down to the seawalk, marina & Saltspring ferry.

This property is serviced by sewer, water & gas, so it has potential as a revenue producer for now until you are ready to build.

PET TIP:

The cold is coming and animals need a place to get out of the rain and wind.

Large animals get rain scald, mud fever, fungi and no end of associated problems with coats and feet. Dogs and cats require flea medication of some sort as well as a warm place to curl up. More feed is required in the cold to help keep animals warm because they burn off more calories trying to stay warm. Are you ready.
