Nature Lover’s Paradise – Serene Home on 3 Acres of Untouched Forest. Discover your own slice of paradise on nearly 3 acres of pristine, natural forest, where arbutus trees create peaceful groves and the sounds of wildlife greet you daily. This property is ideal for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and those seeking tranquility. At the heart of the property lies a stunning natural pond, enhanced with Oriental touches, reflecting the changing seasons in breathtaking beauty. The forest is alive with the presence of deer, squirrels, owls, and an abundance of mushrooms and ferns, making every moment feel like a scene from a nature documentary. The west-facing home is thoughtfully designed to bring the outdoors in, with large windows and a spacious deck that provide uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness. Whether you’re watching wildlife or enjoying the vibrant colours of autumn, it’s as if nature itself becomes your entertainment. The lovingly maintained home offers easy-care living with 2 bedrooms upstairs, a generous kitchen with a cozy eating nook overlooking the pond, and an expansive living/dining area that opens to the large deck – perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding. Downstairs, you’ll find an additional bedroom, bathroom, family room, and workshop, with the potential to restore the space to a suite for guests or extended family. This property is a must-see for anyone looking to embrace nature in its purest form, while enjoying the comfort of a warm, welcoming home.
