On 2.76 sunny private acres in desirable Vesuvius, this 3 bed, 2 bath home sits amid its own magical forest and foot path leading to CRD hiking trails, Baker Beach, and the ocean. On this south-facing property, the garden includes an existing berry patch, herb, veggie garden and a mature and young orchard with a variety of trees: apples, Mirabelle and Italian plums, apricots, figs, pears, and cherry - a true gardener's dream. The lower level offers 1 bed, 1 bath and a flex space (B&B?). Recent upgrades include new wood floors and windows, new stainless kitchen appliances, and efficient baseboard heaters on the upper floor. A spacious deck and backyard fire pit provide welcome outdoor spots to enjoy the tranquil setting. Near public transit, you can skip the drive and take the bus to shops, schools, and town amenities. Ganges is less than 10 minutes by car; Vesuvius ferry is 5 minutes away for trips to Vancouver Island. Piped municipal water helps to make this an easy care property.
