Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Our home is located in a rural gated oceanfront retirement community, on a golf course. We are 45 minutes from downtown Victoria, in the beautiful Cowichan Valley. Our ocean view home features 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. We have a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room.

In our friendly gated retirement community, there is a pool, hot tub and tennis courts. There are many hiking trails all within easy reach of our home. We are a one hour drive from the ferry terminal to Vancouver. Please see the Arbutus Ridge website www.arbutusridge.ca for a description and photos of our neighbourhood.
