Located just 8 minutes from the heart of Qualicum Beach, this charming 2-bedroom rancher offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and rural convenience. Backing on to crown land, and nestled on a tranquil no-thru road in the peaceful community of Dashwood, the home sits on a generous .36-acre parcel surrounded by mature trees—ideal for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. This home is very bright and offers a cozy living space with sliding glass door to give access to the back deck. There are 2 bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with its own deck access as well. The south-facing backyard is a true highlight, featuring a large, updated deck (2022) perfect for summer entertaining, along with a BBQ area and plenty of space to relax or garden. There is even a large, detached shed, which could be used for hobbies, woodworking or storage. Inside, you’ll appreciate newer appliances, a cozy woodstove (updated in 2022), and the peace of mind that comes with a newer roof (also 2022). An attached workshop with over-height ceilings and 3 skylights offers excellent potential for increasing the living space, and adding a bedroom or studio suite. RV owners will love the convenient 30-amp service for easy hookup. Dashwood offers its own private water system and a local fire department just 2 minutes away. Enjoy quiet country living with the added bonus of being just minutes to the sandy shores and all the amenities of Qualicum Beach. All info approximate.
