OCEANVIEW ACREAGE with an active and historically relevant orchard complemented by a beautiful log home. This icon of Gabriola, Ike’s Orchard, is now available to purchase. The 8.76 acre property is operating as an orchard with approximately 700 fruit bearing trees. The majority are varieties of apples, but there are also a large selection of pear trees and plums. There are two homes on the property: a log home (2005) at the top of the property with amazing ocean & orchard views and a 2 bed rancher in the bottom corner. There also is a log ‘bunkie’ and a handy workshop on the property. There is a separately fenced garden area, 5 water wells, a huge 1 million gallon pond, inground irrigation and access off of 2 roads. The seller is willing to spend a year passing on his 40+ years of knowledge of running and managing the business, including his retail contacts. At it’s peak, the orchard was producing 200,000lbs of apples/yr and demand outstripped production. This would also make an amazing horse pasture and for the right buyer, future development into multiple lots could be possible. A detailed package is available online

About
My family immigrated to Lantzville in the 1880s and I was born in the Old Hospital on Machleary Street in Nanaimo in the 1960s. I grew up in Nanaimo on Departure Bay Road–right across from Rock City School. My father worked at the Biological Station and every landmark brings back memories of a lifetime lived in the same area.
Licensed as a Realtor in 1993, I have been fortunate to be selling real estate and homes in and around the central island area for more than 20 years. Google Earth is amazing, and you feel like you can know a place pretty quickly, but nothing beats having footprints in all the corners. I’ve hiked the local mountains, swam in all the lakes and driven every road. I went to school here, had my first job here, and my dad taught me to drive here. I even remember going through the old A&W (now a Speedy Muffler).
I embrace integrity as the guiding principal to every decision I make. Quite possibly the most important aspect of my relationship with you is our communication. Clear, honest, timely, and accurate communication. As we work together, our relationship will evolve and change, but it’s important that the core value of mutual respect and appreciation for each other’s point of view will always remain.
My mission is simple: to promise a lot and deliver more. How do I do that? By communicating clearly, listening to my clients’ needs, providing remarkable service to clients while keeping in mind my guiding principles, and fairly representing my clients in the attainment of their real estate goals.
To put it simply, I never forget that I am working for you. I hold integrity, strength, honour, family, perseverance, patience, knowledge and balance as key aspects of my life, and apply those values to every part of my work as a real estate agent.
