Tucked behind the gates of coveted Rivers Crossing in the Highlands, this custom-built 4BD, 3BA home was crafted without compromise. Surrounded by west coast forest, yet only minutes from Langford's amenities, it offers the rare combination of forested seclusion & everyday convenience. Soaring vaulted ceilings crown a living room anchored by a wood-burning insert with river rock surround & solid wood built-ins. The kitchen continues the exceptional craftsmanship, with solid wood millwork, granite countertops & recently updated appliances. Upstairs offers 3 large bedrooms plus an additional office area that leads to a balcony with Mt Finlayson views. The lower level adds exceptional storage, wine cellar, double garage with workshop, & an unfinished flex space ready for your vision. The fully fenced garden is a private retreat with a hot tub under the gazebo and a tranquil koi pond with fountain, all set against the backdrop of a forested 1/2 acre property. Enjoy world class forest hikes minutes from your door at Jocelyn Hill, Mt Work or Gowland Tod. A truly special property for those seeking the rare combination of quality, privacy, & convenience

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.
