Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley, 1 hour drive each way to Victoria and Nanaimo on the East Coast of Vancouver Island. Short ferry ride to the Gulf Islands and 1.5 hours by ferry or 20 min by float plane to Vancouver.
This heritage style house is situated on a high bank above the Cowichan River. The river is considered one of the finest trout fishing rivers in British Columbia, and was designated as a Canadian Heritage River in 2003. House is within walking distance of downtown Duncan. Excellent weekly farmers market. Many local vineyards. First Nations cultural centre.
Large private and quiet yard and beautiful new pergola at the back for relaxing in the shade.
This area is a paradise for active people on sea or land. Sailing, kayaking, diving, fishing, mountain biking, road biking, hiking and swimming all at your doorstep. 15 min walk to new indoor leisure pool and fitness facility. Excellent local restaurants.
We have good friends who would show you the area while we were away.
2 schools within walking distance.
