“Rosanna, as we’ve told you many times, it was an absolute pleasure to purchase our new home through you and to list our existing property for sale. We constantly remarked to one another about what a fun and caring individual you are - and we are forever grateful for your dedication, hard work... and especially your patience... as we searched for our new home.”

Catherine and Tony - Nanaimo BC “Our search for a home in Nanaimo began in a local newspaper, where Rosanna’s listings caught our attention immediately. Rosanna certainly lived up to our expectations when we met her in person. She was informative and professional, while at the same time good-humored and friendly. She was never pushy or demanding. Our long distance negotiations demanded a lot of her time, but in the end everything went smoothly and we are very happy with our island home. We would absolutely recommend Rosanna and James to anyone requiring their VHUYLFHV 3HUVRQDOO\ ZH UHJDUG WKHP DV WKH ¿UVW RI PDQ\ QHZ IULHQGV ZH KRSH WR PDNH LQ RXU new home.” Chuck & Zdenka Butler, Calgary AB

reviously, Garden Clubs have arranged tours through this unique property. Species of plants like the giant Moyesii rose tree which apparently dates back to the Ice Age or the Gunnera plant with 5’ leaves or the many, many species of Rhododendrons or the literally thousands of ferns should give you an insight into what Mother Nature is capable of. Level paths and trails crisscross this treed, serene 6.8 acres, enhancing the tranquillity found here. Gardener’s should really appreciate the 15 years of planning and labour that it took to fulfill a vision. In addition, the virtually endless supply of lake water should enable you to maintain or incorporate some of your own landscaping ideas. Thanks to 125+ acre Michael Lake we are also offering you're a Bird Watcher’s Paradise, from the hundreds of Trumpeter Swans to the dozens of species of birds seldom seen elsewhere - such as: wood Ducks, Western Grebe, Ring neck Dove, Northern shoveler or the Black headed Gros Beak - just to mention a few. The specially designed home fronts on the Lake and offers you unsurpassed privacy. The path-like driveway which is over 1,200’ long, takes you to the seller’s custom-designed home. Yes, it boasts lake views from basically all main rooms. All flooring is 3/4” maple, we have one bedroom on the main, two more upstairs plus baths on both levels, a very open kitchen/entertaining area, southern exposure sitting room to relax in and to enjoy some of the special landscaping. The low basement area is ideal for wintering plants, wine making or as extra storage. The detached garage is currently being used for wood working and contains a 200 amp electrical service plus several skylights. How can you place a dollar value on this truly special acreage because comments cannot do justice for what is being offered here. It is mandatory that a personal tour by an informed/potential buyer(s) takes place. Please note: a second residence is permitted under current zoning. New price now: $795,000!

Semi-waterfront in beautiful Cedar-by-theSea, just minutes South of Nanaimo, B.C. This unique, beautifully maintained home with mature and manicured half acre corner lot overlooks Dodd’s Narrows and Mudge Island. Beach access right across the road!

Approximately 2000 sq. ft. on two levels, with one bedroom/bath up and one bedroom/bath down. The huge family room on lower level would allow for a third bedroom as well. The entire basement could easily be an in-law suite with separate entrance and great ocean views. Lots of parking with carport, garage and concrete pad for RV’s. Panoramic views of the straits, marine life and boat traffic from sundeck and most rooms. Wonderfully large working kitchen with oak cabinets. Situated on a no-thru road in very quiet neighbourhood. This is a very comfortable home with an extraordinary location.
