Five and three-quarter private acres on Denman Island, south-facing, with a wooded perimeter opening to cleared, cultivated ground. The 1981 main house has genuine handcrafted character: vaulted post-and-beam living space, wood-paneled ceilings with an inlaid star detail, log-rail staircase to the upper level, two bedrooms, one bath, and a kitchen with custom wood cabinetry and stone countertops. Two wood stoves, metal roof, electric baseboard backup. The property also includes an octagonal sleeping cabin with its own wood stove, a two-storey cedar-shingle studio, and a workshop with covered carport. Drilled well and cisterns. The permaculture garden reflects years of intentional work — mature fruit and nut trees, berry plantings, established beds. Honest fixer-upper priced accordingly.
