A rare and remarkable offering, this nearly 30-acre private retreat near Mt. Maxwell presents an extraordinary opportunity to craft your ideal West Coast lifestyle. Currently home to a spacious workshop, a charming cottage, and a separate studio, the property offers an abundance of potential. The existing workshop holds a current occupancy permit, providing flexible options, to retain as a functional living space, or remove the occupancy designation and build the custom home you've always envisioned. The cottage and studio are quintessentially West Coast in character having warm, soulful spaces. The detached timber-frame studio spans 400 sq. ft. with a loft, and has been updated with a new roof (2024) and a heat pump (2023). A separate driveway services the prime building site, where select clearing could open up stunning ocean views overlooking Active Pass. The land itself features two seasonal ponds, extensive established gardens, and bountiful mature fruit trees. The property currently benefits from a managed forest land designation, resulting in notably low property taxes. Whether you're dreaming of a private estate, a creative sanctuary, or a working rural retreat, this property is ready to meet you there!

About

Andrew Hobbs*

Andrew is an exceptionally well-versed Realtor, having helped over 250 clients purchase and sell properties and real estate investments, including condos, townhomes, houses, duplexes, multi-plexes, commercial strata, and even one hobby farm! He has facilitated condo sales in almost every prominent building in downtown Victoria and the surrounding area. Andrew has been an MLS Award winner since 2009, and an MLS Gold and Silver Award winner from 2010 until present

Besides being a Realtor, Andrew is also a certified French teacher and chess guru. He taught high school English in Paris from 1997-1998 and then, after moving to Taiwan to study Mandarin in 1999, he opened and ran a chess school in Taiwan from 2003-2008. (It’s still open and running today!) 

Andrew and his wife Shu-Hui have two children, Jasmine and Joshua, and together, they enjoy camping, hiking, and cycling all over Vancouver Island. He still enjoys teaching languages, chess, and tennis, but most of his efforts are spent on teaching his kids, but he has taught (and will in the future) volunteer chess classes at Oaklands. 

Since 2009, the Hobbs family has sponsored a boy name Abel in Malawi through SOS Children’s Villages. Over the course of his time as a Realtor, Andrew has donated to BC Cancer Foundation and their Ride to Conquer Cancer, MS Society of Canada, Operation Smile, Canadian Mental Health Association (Ride, Don’t Hide), and Alberta Fires Relief.
