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

After growing up in Dundee, Scotland my first career was in healthcare which took me to locations such as London, England, Sydney, Australia and finally Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where I managed a large, multicultural pathology laboratory for over 10 years.  In 1996, after visiting BC a number of times, I decided that I needed a change in both career and residence and settled in Victoria.  Now having been a Realtor for over 19 years, I have found that my skill set is ideally suited to real estate, particularly in terms of patience, flexibility and trust, providing me with the ability to communicate and empathize with people at all levels. I really enjoy working with people and one of the most rewarding aspects of real estate is helping my clients achieve their dream of finding the perfect home. I am committed to providing them with the absolute best in service and what I strive to do is make the process of buying or selling a home as simple, smooth and as trouble-free as possible.

When I'm not working one of my greatest passions is gardening and am continually working on creating a natural haven around my home. I also love nature and can think of nothing better than exploring the wonderful BC countryside with my lovely dog, Connor.

Cheers!
