There is a moment on the back of this property where the yard stops and the green space begins, and you realise how quiet half an acre can be. Inside, the care shows. The rooms are properly sized rather than technically sized, there is storage in all the places you want it, updates already done, a heat pump for the whole year and a pellet stove for the evenings that call for one. Out front, the parking is the sort people circle back for. Bring the RV, the boat, the trailer, the extra vehicles and whatever the weekend requires, and there is still the garage and a fenced yard. And Maple Bay is the reason people come to the Cowichan Valley. Maple Bay Elementary is a walk away, Quamichan Lake, Mount Tzouhalem, the marina, the beaches and the trails are all minutes out the door, and Duncan, Nanaimo and Victoria are all an easy run when you need them. Space, privacy, parking and a lifestyle people wait years for, on a .49 acre lot backing onto green space.
