Westcoast homestead heritage blends with old world elegance in this richly diverse 5.6 acre property. You enter through massive timber-crafted gates onto grounds that have provided abundance since the old Martin homestead was first established there in 1875. The original farm house still remains. In addition, a charming, 1,095 sq.ft. cottage with over 1800 square feet of covered porches and decks looks out onto the established orchards of apple, pear and cherry, massive maple, and stately oak trees. Many unique garden 'rooms' reminiscent of old manor estates, exhibit landscaping features of exceptional charm and beauty. Another striking quality of this property is a large spring fed pond with accompanying water license. Partial ocean view provides yet another intriguing feature to this must- see acreage of exceptional bounty and beauty. Old Martin Homestead presently used as workshop. All measurements approximate need to be verified. Please contact Spencer Harvey or Darlene Mace, Coast Realty (Gabriola Village) Ltd., www.gabriolaliving.com, for more information.
