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.

After moving with her Airline Pilot husband and three children from Toronto in 1990, Dolores came to realize what life in Victoria could offer.
