Discover your own piece of paradise with this oceanview 4.65 acre property in Bowser, set against a stunning natural backdrop with Thames Creek running through, creating a serene and magical ambiance. This older "character-filled" home offers 1,119 sq ft of cozy living space, featuring 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Well maintained with updates over the years, it retains its original charm alongside updated windows and a forced-air electric furnace. The property’s landscape includes a deep ravine shaped by the creek, enhancing privacy and offering a truly majestic setting, however making a large portion of the property unusable. The home sits on the only usable flat area, with an older detached garage and workshop nearby. Zoned RS2, the property allows for two homes (plus suites), and a covenant protects the creek with set setbacks, ensuring this beautiful environment remains pristine. Contact the listing agent, Kirk Walper, at 250-228-4275 for more information.

About

A thirty-year resident of Victoria, I began my journey of becoming a sales professional cutting my teeth in the competitive office supply sales market and finishing with a successful twenty-year award winning tenure in health care sales. Also, for an eight-year period my entrepreneurial side emerged when I developed, operated and eventually sold my own business “Dine In Victoria”.  Along the way I have creatively renovated three homes and helped design and construct two others. 

A husband and father of two adult boys, I have always been an active member in the community, serving with the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Diabetes Association, coaching youth sports with Victoria Night League Basketball, Saanich Fusion FC, Saanich Minor Lacrosse and with the Five-time Provincial High School Football Champions: Mount Douglas Rams. Personally, I enjoy a good round of golf but not the awful handicap.

 If you are looking to sell or buy a property in Victoria, and looking for a REALTOR®, I would look forward to meeting with you to discuss my marketing plans and buying strategies which would be tailored for your specific needs. After thirty years residing in Greater Victoria, I can provide valuable information on particular neighbourhoods, upcoming areas and locations that would best suit your lifestyle. 

                       Your passions are my utmost concerns - nothing short of the Gold Standard”.
