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

Meet Lew Poulin


Lew has been selling residential real estate in Victoria for 30 years. In that time he has helped many happy clients to achieve their real estate dreams. For Lew, it has always been about more than selling real estate as a way to make a living, it is about helping people to get the best real estate deals for each individual. Lew loves to help people and he loves to sell.

"My earliest memory of selling started when I was 8 and I would try to sell our household items to my Aunts, Uncles & Grandparents when they would come over for family gatherings"

Born and raised in Victoria, Lew knows Victoria and all the individual areas that make up our real estate market. He consistently takes real estate upgrading courses so he is current with the market and knowledgeable on all areas of the residential market, this way he can best serve his clients.

Starting in sales after finishing school at Victoria High School in 1976, Lew spent the next 10 years in the retail sales industry working for Eaton's, Sears and The Bay. In 1984 he moved into the automotive industry and was a sales associate for Canada's #1 Toyota dealership, Metro Toyota, earning salesman of the year honors. Lew worked in the automotive sales field for 10 years. Lew became a Realtor in 1994 and has been in the real estate industry for the last 25 years.
