Trade traffic for tranquility and discover the peaceful lifestyle that only Salt Spring Island can offer. Set on 5 beautiful, level acres of fertile, usable land, this private hobby farm is surrounded by mature trees and enjoys a quiet south-end location close to walking, hiking and riding trails. Currently in pasture, the property is fully fenced and offers endless possibilities for gardening, small-scale farming, livestock, orchards, hobby agriculture, home-based ventures or simply enjoying the open space. The impressive 1,430 sq. ft. barn, built on a concrete slab, currently features six quality stalls but could easily be adapted into a workshop, artisan studio, storage facility or multi-purpose agricultural building. Additional equipment shelters and an RV site add to the property's versatility. Zoning also permits the addition of a guest cottage and studio, providing excellent future potential. The well-built 2,145 sq. ft. two-storey home offers two bedrooms plus a spacious den, 2½ bathrooms, an inviting Pacific Energy wood stove, a full-height (5'10") crawl space and quality copper plumbing. Recent improvements include updated kitchen and bathrooms, a 40-year fiberglass roof (2011), new downspouts and eavestrough covers on all buildings (2025), and a brand-new septic field (2026). Whether you're dreaming of growing your own food, raising a few animals, creating a private country retreat or simply embracing a slower pace of life, this exceptional Salt Spring Island property offers privacy, flexibility and outstanding value.

About

TRUST * RELATIONSHIP * KNOWLEDGE & SKILL * EXEMPLARY SERVICE * SATISFACTION

Ahhh, Victoria. It is truly a city to take your breath away with its snow-capped mountain and ocean vistas. I have been fortunate to call Victoria home for nearly 40 years. I love the outdoors and regularly walk and hike the various neighbourhood paths and park trails, and cycle through our rural and urban neighbourhoods. I love how each municipality and neighbourhood has its own distinct character. I am grateful to reside on the West coast of Canada and appreciate its natural beauty every day.

People and positive relationships are what matter most in life and this is the fundamental foundation of both my personal life and my business. I value sincere relationships established through honest communication, kindness, integrity, and commitment. I strive to be someone with whom you look forward to doing business.

I understand the importance of maintaining in-depth knowledge of current real estate trends, inventory, marketing tools and continuous professional development. As a former Science and Math teacher at a local private school, education and communication are pillars. I will ensure you have access to all of the information you'll need to make the choices that are right for you. Your goals are my goals and I will listen to you with patience, care and empathy.

My commitment to my clients through excellent service allowed me to achieve The RLP President’s Gold Award for sales in the top 6-10% for 2018. I am also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist™ (CLHMS) and have also earned the Million Dollar Guild™ (GUILD) recognition based on my knowledge, experience and expertise in the luxury market.

I am proud to work for eXp Realty which has established the highest ethical standards of service and is a global, cloud based brokerage offering innovation in technology and leadership in this industry. I work with a team of professionals in the community so you receive first-class service.

When not helping families with their real estate needs, I love to run and hike local trails, cycle, kayak and ski. I also enjoy gardening, reading, the local art and music scene in Victoria and traveling. I strive to appreciate all the goodness in my life and attempt to achieve balance by being present and passionate in my career, while reserving precious time for myself, husband and adult children.

I look forward to assisting you in your real estate endeavor.
