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.
