Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Welcome to beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada. Our lovely, very private family home sits on one acre of partially wooded property and is situated 30 minutes from downtown Victoria and 5 minutes from Sidney, a smaller community. It is surrounded by gardens but also has West Coast forest and a tree house/yoga room perched high in the woods. We are 10 minutes from Victoria International Airport, 15 minutes from the ferry terminal connected to Vancouver, and 15 minutes from the world famous Butchart Gardens. There are stunning West Coast beaches to explore, lakes and rivers to swim in, mountains and hills to be hiked and wineries to be enjoyed. Our two sons have grown up and moved out and so we are keen to explore the world. Our family home is on a single level, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and has been fully updated on a quiet cul-de-sac with complete privacy. You will have access to two electric bikes and an electric car with a range of 450 km. We also have a Fast Charger installed so the car can be fully re-charged overnight.

David and I have done lots of travelling during our 37 year marriage including the USA, Europe and Africa. We are both retired and we have lots of flexibility in terms of dates and availability. We are open to considering all options.
