Description
Timeless Errington Acreage with Endless Potential! Welcome to 'Valley Vista Acres’-a 10 acre parcel of ALR land brimming with potential. The sunny, south-facing acreage hosts an older duplex-style home now encompassing 3 separate dwellings, plus a sizable backyard with views beyond the forest out to Mt Arrowsmith and the distant Island Mountains. There's also a large spring-fed pond, a sizable fenced garden, and two re-roofed outbuildings. A- 1 Agricultural zoning supports farming and ranching endeavors, equestrian uses, and various additional ventures. A private entry drive winds through towering evergreens to a large parking area, setting the tone for this unique and storied 2974 sqft property. A true handyman’s special, the home is steeped in over 110 years of Errington history. Originally built in 1915 and expanded over time, it has served as a schoolhouse, chicken hatchery, and now a multi-dwelling residence ready for its next chapter. The Primary Dwelling offers a Living Room with parquet floors, OS windows, a woodstove, and access to outdoor spaces, plus a Kitchen, Pantry/Storage Room, shared laundry access, a Bedroom, and a 3-pc Bath with clawfoot soaker tub. A separately accessed two-level Second Dwelling features a spacious Kitchen, Living Room with woodstove, Office/Den, 4-pc Bath, and upstairs Bedrooms. A third Upper Dwelling includes an open Living/Dining area with vaulted ceiling and feature windows, a Kitchen, Bedroom, and 4-pc Bath. This property is perfectly situated for delivering products, bringing in supplies, or servicing the entire mid-island region. Located just a short drive from Parksville and Qualicum Beach, this sprawling acreage is ideal for those downsizing from a larger farm or ranch while still desiring the lifestyle. Invest with siblings to run a family farm while everyone lives in the existing multi-unit home, or plan your future country retreat and use the current residence to accommodate farm workers.
