This rare, agriculturally zoned, sun drenched, lovely acreage surrounds Harrison Pond and holds a current water license. The land includes an Evergreen Forest, a mixture of Wet and Dry Grasslands, fenced Vegetable Gardens, a Heritage Orchard, Seasonal Streams , and "The Pond", encompassing approximately 2 glorious acres, filled with lilies and wildlife. The unique landscape is centrally located on the island, directly across from the Salt Spring Golf Club. In 2018, the "Farm House" (originally built in 1920), was professionally relocated onto the property. Interior pictures are prior to current tenancy. The Owners' idea was to build the main home closer to the pond, and a cottage near the Orchard. There is a charming campsite currently at the Eastern end of the pond, plus a "Bunkie" on the North side. The Orchard consists of 20+ heritage plums, about 5 apple trees, and 2 pear trees. This is a unique opportunity - bring your ideas - Hobby Farm? Private estate? Book your appointment today!

Location
About
A thirty-year resident of Victoria, I began my journey of becoming a sales professional cutting my teeth in the competitive office supply sales market and finishing with a successful twenty-year award winning tenure in health care sales. Also, for an eight-year period my entrepreneurial side emerged when I developed, operated and eventually sold my own business “Dine In Victoria”. Along the way I have creatively renovated three homes and helped design and construct two others.
A husband and father of two adult boys, I have always been an active member in the community, serving with the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Diabetes Association, coaching youth sports with Victoria Night League Basketball, Saanich Fusion FC, Saanich Minor Lacrosse and with the Five-time Provincial High School Football Champions: Mount Douglas Rams. Personally, I enjoy a good round of golf but not the awful handicap.
If you are looking to sell or buy a property in Victoria, and looking for a REALTOR®, I would look forward to meeting with you to discuss my marketing plans and buying strategies which would be tailored for your specific needs. After thirty years residing in Greater Victoria, I can provide valuable information on particular neighbourhoods, upcoming areas and locations that would best suit your lifestyle.
Your passions are my utmost concerns - nothing short of the “Gold Standard”.
