Enjoy your First Christmas in your Cozy Mayne Island Country Home!

(Just a heads up - best to buy before the Bank of Canada puts the rates up next month!)

(Another heads up for American house hunters, the foreign buyer ban in BC ends Jan 1 2027, but there are no restrictions on rural properties https://searchfraservalley.ca/blog/americans-guide-to-buying-bc-real-estate-taxes-deposits-foreign-buyer-rules-explained-step-by-step)

Imagine being settled in time for your first island Christmas. Plus if you buy before winter you get about 3 cords of seasoned firewood and full propane tanks. Wait til next summer and both will be significantly diminished. I'll probably relist with my realtors in the spring of 2027, so the price will go up to accommodate their commission.

I understand the reluctance to invest in real estate these days. The world is an uncertain place right now. Economic instability, however, shouldn't keep you from escaping urban stress so you can enjoy the gentler pace of your very own Mayne Island retreat. Think of it as another way to buy Canadian.

Wonder why I'm selling? I mean if the house and the island are so great, why sell? Medical and family issues have come up that sadly require a return to the mainland.

Life here on Mayne is peaceful, in a beautiful, warm, supportive, community. There's lots to do here too. https://gulfislandevents.com/mayne-island-events/

Come take a look at this cozy and efficient updated rancher and make it yours. Retiring or looking for a slower gentler pace for your family, this is a classic island home with space and privacy. Whether you're planning to live here full time or want to set up a shared recreational property, this island home can't be beat.

Not quite ready to retire? There's a shortage of rental homes on the island, so rent it out til you're ready.

This well-built rancher sits on.34 acres and is perfect for outdoor living. It’s fully fenced for kids, pets and peace of mind. Low maintenance inside and out, with all the heavy lifting done, a new owner has a solid base on which to either add their own new features or simply relax and enjoy.

The many UPGRADES include 200 amp service, propane conversion (2024), demand hot water (2024), metal roofs (2024), and updated windows (2023),

The 1,813 square ft main floor offers 3 bedrooms (or 2 and one very large flex room with a closet), 2 bathrooms, updated and very efficient galley style kitchen (with an amazing new gas range), laundry, pantry, wood fireplace, and a gas fireplace in the main house. Enjoy decks on three sides with a gated main deck, a workshop below, and a 282 sq ft studio or suite with its own propane fireplace.

EXTRAS include a large woodshed, garden shed, carport, level parking, and 5,000 gallons of rainwater storage.

This prime Bennett Bay location is only a leisurely fifteen-minute walk to parks and beaches.

Helpful owner’s manual is included!

If you're touring the island spontaneous viewings are welcome if I'm on island and can oblige. Virtual viewings can also be arranged on Whats App or Messenger. Take a chance.

No agents please. I would have to add $25,000 to the price!
