This well-built, well-maintained Linwood home is surrounded by 4 1/4 acres of lawns and protective forest along 227 meters of Whaletown’s tidal lagoon, ensuring further privacy as well as opportunities to launch small craft from the yard at high tide.
Behind the outbuildings on the south side of the property, forest clearance has allowed for a productive vegetable garden and seasonal pond in a park-like setting where giant sword ferns and mixed firs mingle with salmonberry and holly trees. Maples dominate the ravine and seasonal creek which run down to the lagoon and are protected as wildlife habitat. There is enormous potential here for a variety of activities for all ages as well as for relaxation indoors and out in a beautiful setting. It’s a magical property – a must see!

The comfortable, well-planned home is built of cedar planks with alder flooring from trees milled on the property in the living room. This living/dining area has a vaulted ceiling with large windows to enjoy the view and let in lots of light. The galley kitchen is well laid-out with custom cabinets and a walk-in pantry. A recent sunroom addition, very practical and pleasant, offers possibilities for extra sleeping space, potting plants or as an art/craft studio, and the spacious wrap-around deck is great for outdoor living. Upstairs, the master bedroom is in the loft and features an in-room jetted soaker tub plus sink and toilet. There is a newer metal roof.

Additional buildings include a carport with two shop areas off the sides plus a service building that doubles as a storage area. The wood shed is conveniently close to home, with an extra lean-to situated on the deck, and as a bonus there is a small travel trailer under permanent cover for use as a handy guest sleeping room.

This special property would make a great retreat property or a full-time home. Optional furnishing package could make moving in a breeze!
