Discover your own Recreational Paradise on this 1.16-acre property in desirable Qualicum Bay. Enjoy walking to the ocean or exploring miles of forested trails beside Nile Creek, a salmon spawning stream leading to a picturesque waterfall. This fully fenced property features a variety of fruit trees—apple, pear, blueberry, walnut, and hazelnut—alongside ornamental and medicinal plants, forming a burgeoning permaculture food forest. Relax on hot days in the gazebo or take a refreshing dip in the spring-fed pond surrounded by lush greenery and colorful foliage that provide year-round privacy and interest. The 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is nestled into a gentle hillside, offering dual-level walkout access and versatile spaces for hobbies or relaxation. Sustainable farmhouse decor incorporates repurposed and reclaimed materials such as an 'Empress Hotel' sink, butcher block countertops, natural marmoleum floors, and old growth salvaged timber beams on the lower level. A three-story studio/workshop provides space for overnight guests or projects, complemented by RS2 zoning that potentially allows for more (verify with RDN). Nearby lakes, trails, and Deep Bay Marina offer limitless outdoor adventures. Embrace a lifestyle of natural beauty and comfort—make this extraordinary property your sanctuary today.
