545 Blackburn Rd, Salt Spring

Magical. Through the gate, go slowly up the driveway, these 12+ peaceful acres in the Cranberry Valley will unfold, imparting a sense of calm. Soak in the serene views of mixed woods (fir and maple predominating), a sweet old orchard (most trees still producing), open fields, and beyond, Cusheon Creek meandering through. The lovingly updated modern farmhouse is bright and sunny, with a new entry and mudroom, new walk-in pantry, gorgeous wide plank hardwood floors, heat pump, refreshed bathrooms, abundant storage, plus large south-facing partially covered deck, great woodshed, and finished double garage. This 3 bed/2 bath home is a true gem; on municipal water, it's equipped with a 13 kw generator (with indoor remote start). Fully fenced, almost entirely walkable. Next to the driveway is a magnificent maple grove, a perfect summer (or spring or fall!) spot. Enjoy paths down, over the creek, on old logging paths and fields. 3 km to Ganges, worlds away from ordinary. Definitely magic. (id:1945)
