realtor's description

An increasingly rare offering in Saanich West, this 4.23-acre property presents an extraordinary opportunity to create a legacy estate surrounded by the beauty of the countryside, without sacrificing the convenience of city living. Gently rolling pastures, picturesque valley views and a mature enclave of Garry oak trees set the stage for a truly picturesque setting, from a dream custom residence to a private hobby farm or agricultural retreat, subject to applicable approvals. A-1 zoned and within the ALR, the property offers a unique blend of space, versatility & rural character. Ideally positioned near Highway 1, downtown Victoria, the Westshore, Thetis Lake & an abundance of everyday amenities, the location is as desirable as the land itself. For those who recognize the value of space, privacy & possibility, opportunities like this are not easily replicated. Buyers to verify measurements & land rules & regulations.
