Beautiful RURAL HOME and PROPERTY FOR SALE by Owner

Located in Merville near Courtenay in the Comox Valley, on Beautiful Vancouver Island on the Pacific Coast of Canada.

PRICE: $1,250,000, Reasonable offers considered. For private sale by owner, a beautiful lush oasis in the heart of rural Merville. The property is a "big" stretched-out two acres, completely deer and rabbit fenced, with various areas of diversity, and privacy-fenced along the road frontage, with a secure lockable gate. We have a 32 panel solar power system with battery storage -- when the power goes off, our lights stay on! Also a deep well that furnishes plenty of pure water. We have a 12' by 40' glass greenhouse for potential year-round food production, as well as a 12' by 30' hoop house still in its crate. Beautiful low-maintenance English cottage style perennial flower and shrub gardens keep bees happy from early spring to late autumn, plus there are fruit trees and berries and raised outdoor vegetable beds.

The main house is friendly and comfortable with lots of windows, all of which look out over lovely garden scenes. There is plenty of wood throughout, and it is cosy and warm in winter and always cool in summer. The house is all on one level. It has 4 bedrooms including a large master bedroom and two bathrooms, and the open plan kitchen/dining/living room stretches across the entire front of the house. There is a big utility room with two pantries, and a lovely spacious wood-panelled sunroom. There are two other structures on the property that could fairly easily be converted into a cottage/small home, and/or a garage, studio or office for a home business, and most of the materials required to finish these projects are included with the sale. The property could easily support a small communal group or an intergenerational or extended family. Many tools and other extras are also included if desired.

This is a very special and unique home and property. The vision we are holding is that a family and/or small group of people will love this beautiful property as much as we have, and enjoy a really good life here. There is the potential for self-sufficiency, and it would be a magical environment for raising children. We’d like to have a smooth transition where we could have the opportunity to personally “hand the place over” to the new owners and answer any questions they may have about the operations of the septic, well, solar power systems etc.

To be sold by direct private sale between two parties. Feel free to email us for a photo album of the house, outbuildings and gardens.
