A rare 20-acre Vancouver Island retreat in the Sayward Valley boasting mountain views, a 25-minute stroll to the Salmon River, and a short drive to Kelsey Bay Harbour. The 8000 sq ft residence is perfectly suited for housing multiple generations or families under one roof, and priced far below replacement value. With both a commercial and a regular kitchen, there is potential for use, again, as a small lodge – with a 10 gpm drilled well (2019), 10-room septic system (pump 2022), commercial-grade water filtration system, and plenty of parking. Situated in the ALR, access is via a paved forestry road. The property has a small livestock enclosure, a large garden area with fruit trees, bushes, and canes, and extensive level land for your hobby farm vision. Upstairs, the great room has been upgraded with commercial-grade carpeting. Bedrooms feature new cork flooring, drop ceilings, LED light fixtures and fresh paint. Mascon/Telus Internet allows you to work from home. There is even a sauna and an EV charging station.
