Private, peaceful, yet less than five minutes’ drive from Snug Cove, this acreage is a gardener’s or hobbyist’s delight and a perfect family home. It offers a combination of factors rarely found in one property on Bowen Island: abundant, delicious water from your own well (filtered down through the ecological reserve on the hill opposite); year-round sunlight; 95% useable land; ample parking for when you invite friends into your sanctuary; and of course, the privacy and proximity to the island’s commercial centre. The house is graciously proportioned, with wide hallways and generous rooms; a kitchen that is a gourmet’s delight; and a gorgeous veranda that lets you enjoy the outdoors even in inclement weather. You’ll never tire of the mountain and woodland views, and you can enjoy the deer grazing in the meadow (particularly closely if you’re in the garden suite). If it weren’t for needing to downsize, the owners would never leave this beloved home of 24 years.
