Sunny hilltop retreat with two workshops in a prime location just minutes from Broadmead village! This low-maintenance five acre property in Rural Saanich is being offered for sale for the first time in twenty-five years. Surrounded by other natural park-like acreages, the setting is perhaps the ultimate in privacy and tranquility, sunshine and space, and proximity to trails, farm stands, shopping centres, and recreation centres. The house has been tastefully renovated and improved by the present owners, including new windows, a custom kitchen in cherry, updated bathrooms and laundry room, hardwood flooring, new hot water tank, two fully ducted heat pumps, steel roofs, Hardie siding, and two high-efficiency wood-burning fireplaces. The entrance terrace and numerous decks have seasonal screens to provide shade for outdoor living. Outside there's a double garage, a 1,148 square foot workshop (11' height) with its own 200 amp supply, a 339 square foot studio/workshop, and various garden and wood sheds. These offer endless opportunities for hobbies, classic cars, and home businesses. Coming home from the noise and bustle of urban life to your own hill-top retreat bathed in sunshine and surrounded by arbutus trees, wildlife, and wild flowers is solace for the soul. If you value space, privacy and tranquility, and glorious views of every sunrise and sunset, this may be the sanctuary you have been looking for. Viewing is by appointment only. Please note that this is not an agricultural or horse property and is not in the ALR.
