$1,199,000

Welcome to 5617 River Valley Road — a one-of-a-kind 4+ acre property offering privacy, functionality, and an authentic Cowichan Valley lifestyle. Tucked just west of town and near a couple of spectacular Cowichan River access points, this acreage is ideal for families, hobbyists, multi-generational living, or anyone looking to live and work in a peaceful, rural setting. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom main home features an unfinished basement with endless potential, a custom-built wooden cold cellar, and a spacious concrete patio complete with an outdoor kitchen with a built-in smoker — perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Throughout the home, you’ll find warm wood accents that add a rustic charm and timeless character. The home has seen some thoughtful recent updates, which include a new forced air heating and cooling system, new kitchen appliances, a full water treatment system servicing both buildings, and a newer septic system that services both buildings. The property also includes a massive 2,100+ sq ft workshop, equipped with a walk-in cooler, backup generator with automatic transfer switch, and a private, fully self-contained 2-bedroom suite above — ideal for extended family, guests, or rental income. Both the home and suite have separate hydro and internet services for added independence and functionality. Outdoors, the land is open and usable, dotted with apple and plum trees, grapevines, a raspberry patch, and wild berries throughout. A seasonal fish-bearing creek flows gently through the property into two picturesque ponds, creating a peaceful setting with plenty of space to explore, garden, or simply unwind. There are also multiple outbuildings for storage or animals, plus plenty of level green space for future use. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready acreage with income potential, natural beauty, and unbeatable flexibility — all just a short, peaceful drive from town. (id:46156)
