Reimagined 1917 farmhouse on 1.2 private acres at the base of Maple Mountain, surrounded by Garry oaks and protected covenant land. Thoughtfully relocated in 2021–22 onto a new foundation, this unique home offers 4 or 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, original hardwood floors, a welcoming porch, and a 600 sq. ft. south-facing deck. The legal 750 sq. ft. 1-bedroom suite has a private entrance and provides excellent rental income, extended-family space, or a mortgage helper. Updates include a metal roof, upgraded insulation, soundproofing, thermal windows, perimeter drainage, heated bathroom floor, municipal water, and new septic system. Backing onto protected land with old-growth firs and arbutus trees, this peaceful West Coast retreat is close to hiking trails, beaches, parks, tennis courts, the new Cowichan District Hospital, and the ocean. Convenient highway access makes travel easy. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history in beautiful Maple Bay.
