Direct access to the back country yet only 11 minutes from Safeway. And what a view! A rare opportunity to own 10 acres that connect to miles of forests and trails – a dream property for those who crave the freedom of open forests. Add to that the tranquility of a large pond, with a waterfall, fed by a seasonal creek. Far above the valley hum, songbirds and wildlife are your neighbours. This rancher with full walk-out basement was built in 1991 for the current owner by a renowned local builder. Cutting-edge at the time, it is an energy-efficient R2000 home with high-rated insulation and windows, augmented by a heat-recovery system. Check out the unique Cenergy ceramic woodstove! Everything’s on the main floor – 2 bedrooms (could easily be 3), 2 bathrooms, family room, laundry. Large deck on the view side accessed from the family room and primary bedroom. The partially finished basement has 2 more bedrooms (could easily be 3), rec room and direct access to the yard. Tons of storage and even a dedicated workshop with separate access. Double garage with separate workshop plus a 20'x30' detached RV garage, as well as two more outbuildings. (id:56537)
