Set on 14+ acres of gently sloping, southern exposed land in the Alberni Valley, this well maintained fallow deer farm offers abundant opportunity for a rural lifestyle without endless farm hours. The property is 14.4 acres and zoned A-2 (farm status and ALR). This permits a 2nd residence to complement the existing home, 3200sf workshop,1128sf corral barn, and 400sf greenhouse. The home is well maintained featuring 1149sf on the main level with two bedrooms, spacious dining, kitchen and living rooms, plus a basement (6’7”) with rec room, laundry, 2nd bathroom, and abundant storage. The sprawling (32’x12’) south-facing covered deck is complemented by an open deck (16’x10’) for your enjoyment and summer feasts. With 3 water courses including a drilled and shallow well plus a pond (with license), your personal and farm watering requirements are met. A 3200sf workshop includes a mezzanine, garage, 3 large storage areas, cooler, and two interior workshops. An 1128sf corral barn is purpose built for the fallow deer operations and will process hundreds of deer if you choose to scale up the operation. The property is gently rolling and even offers distant Inlet view from the peak. It is fenced for farm purposes and has multiple uses under the A-2 zoning including grazing livestock, aquaculture (see regional bylaws), nursery cultivation, greenhouse enterprise, and direct sale of produce to consumers. The sellers run this farm with a truly balanced lifestyle. Located 15 minutes from town and Sprout Lake, this is a quiet, peaceful setting. All measurements are approximate and should be verified if important. (id:27476)
