Walking around this 2.47-acre parklike property, you could almost be in Butchart Gardens. This quality, attractive 4 bedroom home has 4705 sq. ft. of comfortable living space, with wood floors, large windows and a formal dining room overlooking a pond. A uniquely built brick curved fireplace passes through all three levels of this substantial house. The main floor offers 3 bedrooms. Downstairs offers a large family room, a bedroom and attached sitting room, hobby room and storage rooms. The second floor is built for an office overlooking the garden. Many features in this property will satisfy the diverse needs of a large family. The substantial detached brick workshop (ripe for carriage-house or stable conversion) has power and water. There’s covered RV parking, and a wood store. The pump house and garden irrigation system, together with a greenhouse containing a wood stove and brick chimney accommodates the gardener’s needs for early spring seedlings. From the rear of the property, you’ll be less than 100 steps to the Englishman river, a swimming hole and miles of hiking and biking trails. A funky bird hide cum Zen den, a tree house built into a huge cedar tree and the sound of the river all add to the peace and tranquility of this beautiful paradise. Just 10 minutes to Errington centre with its popular summer farmers’ market and about 15 minutes to the new grocery store in Parksville.
