Trade traffic for tranquility and discover the peaceful lifestyle that only Salt Spring Island can offer. Set on 5 beautiful, level acres of fertile, usable land, this private hobby farm is surrounded by mature trees and enjoys a quiet south-end location close to walking, hiking and riding trails. Currently in pasture, the property is fully fenced and offers endless possibilities for gardening, small-scale farming, livestock, orchards, hobby agriculture, home-based ventures or simply enjoying the open space. The impressive 1,430 sq. ft. barn, built on a concrete slab, currently features six quality stalls but could easily be adapted into a workshop, artisan studio, storage facility or multi-purpose agricultural building. Additional equipment shelters and an RV site add to the property's versatility. Zoning also permits the addition of a guest cottage and studio, providing excellent future potential. The well-built 2,145 sq. ft. two-storey home offers two bedrooms plus a spacious den, 2½ bathrooms, an inviting Pacific Energy wood stove, a full-height (5'10") crawl space and quality copper plumbing. Recent improvements include updated kitchen and bathrooms, a 40-year fiberglass roof (2011), new downspouts and eavestrough covers on all buildings (2025), and a brand-new septic field (2026). Whether you're dreaming of growing your own food, raising a few animals, creating a private country retreat or simply embracing a slower pace of life, this exceptional Salt Spring Island property offers privacy, flexibility and outstanding value.

About
As a proud father of three fantastic adults I understand the importance of family, trust, and commitment. When I’m not guiding clients through the real estate process, you’ll find me out on the water touring the Gulf Islands, cycling, kayaking or playing music with my family. I also have a background in education, holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Education and having studied at the University of Winnipeg, Laval University in Quebec City, and UBC in Vancouver.
I’ve been a REALTOR® in Victoria, BC since 1998 and have witnessed firsthand the full spectrum of real estate market cycles—from boom to bust, and everything in between. This experience gives me a distinct edge when working with both buyers and sellers, as I understand the intricacies of each phase of the market. My clients will tell you that I am confident, knowledgeable, and prepared—yet, above all, available. Relationships are at the core of my business, and I believe a strong rapport with colleagues is essential to securing the best results for my clients.
One of the cornerstones of my practice is my commitment to fiduciary responsibility. I take great pride in honouring my duty to clients who entrust me with their homes. I understand that in today’s rapidly evolving market, with ever-changing regulations, it’s crucial to have a REALTOR® who not only has a clear, strategic marketing plan but also the experience and integrity to navigate complex negotiations. My clients know they can rely on me to always act in their best interests—providing sound advice, expert negotiations, and transparency throughout every step of the process.
Since 2018, I’ve partnered with Dirk Van derWal to publish the VictoriaQReport.com, a comprehensive quarterly real estate report. It's the real estate report realtors read. One of our slogans is What Actually Happened, it's not a question. This publication is the go-to resource for interpreting market trends and data, and is widely regarded by local realtors as an essential tool for understanding the Victoria market. I encourage you to sign up for free and stay informed!
Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply explore your options in this dynamic market, I’d love to work with you and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
