What's special

Escape the city to your own house & cabin in the woods. Nestled in the quaint, sought-after area of Glenora, next to wineries, farm-to-table dining, & the glorious Cowichan River trails. The main home features 3 beds, 2 3-piece baths, an office area, living room, dining area, family room & an unfinished basement. The oversized firepit & hot tub are an added bonus! The rustic cabin features 2 bedrooms, 1 3-piece bath, a small kitchen, dining area, & a living room. The cabin was previously used as an Airbnb & was popular for tourists wanting to walk next door to the local farm-to-table café, where you share the same views from your bedroom window. Enjoy your secret garden with views of an almost 100-acre working farm & tend to your fruit trees, including plums, apples, grapes, and figs. With over 2.5 acres, this property gives you a bit of the best of what Vancouver Island has to offer. Enjoy exceptional privacy and community in a wonderful rural area away from the hustle and bustle.
