Pet Tip: I need to find a barn for 2 feral cats. Spayed and neutered but still wild. They do meet me every morning to be fed. These Cats would keep your barn clear of pests but need to be fed and wormed regularly. They must be kept in somewhere for approx. 1 month so they know where they belong and are fed.
at the end of a no through road with 2 homes, 7 acres, barn and nature at its ¿nest. With a beautiful new log cottage which has its own double garage and a large, bright westcoast contemporary home with attached garage you have space for all extended family. The main home has a custom kitchen, vaulted ceilings and a huge deck for enjoying the remarkable river. This is a fabulous location and only minutes to Duncan for shopping. Call, I would be pleased to show you this wonderful home. offered at

The variety of floor plans offered will appeal to young families, retirees and professionals alike. Well over half of the development site is dedicated as CVRD parkland hence the name Park Place. Award winning Cadillac Homes in its tradition will be finishing each home with a fully landscaped yard complete with automated sprinkler systems (one of the water conservation measures taken by the developers) and in doing so create an entire neighbourhood by design with beautiful streetscape.
