Country living at its best - this VERY quiet retreat property is located just off the desirable Headquarters Rd area, close to Merville, and is ready for you to make it your own paradise found. Just a 10 min drive to Courtenay, and a short stroll to Norwood stables and Tsolum Spirit Park, this property has been a family homestead for decades, this acreage is open and spacious with just under 10 acres. It is high and dry, and was previously used as a hobby Christmas tree farm property. The home is spacious and set back from the road, and features include a long driveway, with open, bright, large areas cleared for livestock, as well as a large treed section, and a large pond to while away the summer days under the Willow tree. The exposure is bright and sunny, with a SW exposure, and there is a large greenhouse, and an adjoining covered storage area. The home is cozy and quaint, so bring your ideas and your tool belt, and begin your new adventure of creating your own private Shangri-La.
