Property Description
A Gardener’s Paradise on Gabriola Island where over an acre of fully fenced, thoughtfully cultivated grounds create a true gardener’s haven on beautiful Gabriola Island. Tucked behind two gated entrances, this private sanctuary has been lovingly designed for those who find joy in growing, tending, and living close to the land. Meandering brick pathways guide you through abundant garden beds, mature plantings, raised boxes, and carefully curated landscaping that offers colour and interest throughout the seasons. Koi ponds and a tranquil water feature add movement and serenity, while multiple outdoor sitting areas are perfectly positioned to pause, reflect, and admire the fruits of your labour. Whether you envision expanding the beds, adding specialty crops, or simply enjoying what’s already established, the groundwork for an extraordinary garden lifestyle is already here. Inside, vaulted ceilings and rich wood floors create a warm, welcoming backdrop to the natural beauty just beyond the windows. The open-concept living space flows seamlessly to tiled and bricked patios, making it easy to step out with your morning coffee and wander the grounds. Two propane fireplaces provide cozy comfort, while the gas (propane) stove and dedicated wine cellar make entertaining effortless after a rewarding day outdoors. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful sitting room or office — ideal for planning next season’s plantings or enjoying a quiet moment overlooking the gardens. Practical features support your self-sufficient lifestyle, including a heat pump with three heads for year-round comfort, a newer septic system, two wells, and three cisterns to ensure a reliable water supply. A detached garage with loft adds valuable storage or workshop space for tools and creative projects. At 697 Crestwood Road, gardening isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way of life. This is a property where you can grow, gather, and truly put down roots in the heart of Gabriola. (id:7434)
