Gorgeous Like-New Residence
BEAUTIFUL OLDFIELD VALLEY ESTATE
This delightful 5-acre property is sited on a quiet no-through road in the beautiful Oldfield Valley area…just 20 minutes from downtown Victoria but a world away!
A long driveway winds up to the main residence; a beautifully crafted and light-filled custom home that boasts an open concept design and flexible spaces.
Newly refinished hardwood floors are featured on the main level of the home, and exquisitely crafted millwork, built-in cabinetry and display/storage areas are showcased throughout.
The bright and airy kitchen includes multiple workspaces including an island with bar seating, and lots of storage including a walk-in pantry with additional sink. The living and dining areas are warm and inviting spaces, with a feature stone-faced fireplace and access out to a sunny and totally private patio and courtyard area complete with multiple sitting areas, water feature, beautiful landscaping and circular lawn.
The main level Primary bedroom overlooks the courtyard and includes a large 5-piece ensuite bath, electric fireplace and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room are also located on the main level, with access off the entry foyer to a sunny west facing deck.
Downstairs, the walk-out lower level offers flexible accommodation with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living/eating area and full bath. Handy walk-in storage rooms are located on this level, as well as an amazing workshop with dust extraction system and work benches; perfect for hobbyists and serious woodworkers alike!
Off the main courtyard area, a delightful artist’s studio overlooks the property, with a cozy raised wood stove, tiled floors, and a sink, fridge and prep area. A charming 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage (legal) is sited away from the main house, offering a sunny patio and large parking area….
Several other outbuildings include a ‘bee-keeper’s studio with loft, a large storage shed, additional parking/farm accessory building, and an enclosed chicken coop.
Cherished for two decades by the original owner, ‘Whisperhill Farm’ is proudly Organic-Designated… boasting meticulously designed and fully irrigated and enclosed blueberry and wine grape crops, as well as a bountiful orchard with apples, pears, plums and cherries. A glass greenhouse is sited next to a large vegetable garden, with raised vegetable and berry beds, and fig trees.
Approximately 1/3 of the property is evergreen forest, with a large pond at the front of the property that can be used for irrigation. A fully cleared field awaits your ideas and has been enjoyed over the years as the ‘soccer field’!
Just 20 minutes from the Victoria International Airport and 20 minutes from downtown, this sought-after and central location enjoys access to wonderful farmer’s markets and road-stands, Elk Lake Park, and walking trails, and lots of convenient amenities.
A very rare and special ‘country lifestyle’…yours to discover!
