For those who want a genuine rural retreat without sacrificing convenience, the location here is hard to beat. Cowichan Station puts you less than an hour from Victoria via Highway 1, with Nanaimo and the mid-Island just 45 minutes north — making this an ideal home base for commuters, remote workers, and anyone who wants space and privacy without feeling far from anything. Tucked at the end of a quiet no-through road, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom split-entry home sits on a rare 30,492 sq ft level lot. The property is a gardener's paradise — an established orchard of apple, cherry, and pear trees, a fully fenced and beautifully maintained yard with lighting and a water feature, and an abundant shared well system renowned for its exceptional quality and quantity. The scale of the land is something buyers must see to believe. Inside, the 2,499 sq ft layout offers generous living across two levels, with a wood-burning fireplace upstairs and a second wood-burning stove below. The bright kitchen is ideal for family gatherings, and the updated lower-level bathroom, in-house laundry, and full basement add everyday convenience. Recent upgrades include a ducted heat pump for year-round heating and cooling, a 2022 hot water tank, a hot tub, and a large wrap-around deck. A triple-car garage plus RV parking with a dedicated pad completes an already impressive package. The privacy is real, the land is rare, and the location is unbeatable. This is rural Vancouver Island living — without the trade-offs. (id:62865)
