Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Our 230 Sq M (2500 Sq Ft) home is located on a 3 Hectares (8 acres) property on a hill with a view over Nanoose Bay Ocean, surrounded by a paradise for lovers of nature & outdoor sports. We live on a quiet friendly dead end street, and we are within 2 paved kms of the main Island Highway. Behind us is mostly undeveloped forest land, with an extensive network of logging roads, many abandoned, and used as trails. Our comfortable, quiet and relaxing living room, offers Mountains and Ocean views. The kitchen and dining room face a private sunny backyard with a small pond, flowers, forest trails, lots of birds, squirrels, rabbits, deer and the occasional raccoon.
We have a small shopping centre within 3km drive with a small mall with bank, grocery store, medical etc. and and bigger ones within 10 kms.
