Quiet house in Saanichton, BC (20min from Victoria)
We live on Vancouver Island, in the southwest of Canada. Our home is 20 min from Victoria and 10 minutes from Sidney, located in a small community surrounded by the ocean and farmland. We are close to the ferries which may take you to the picturesque Gulf Islands Reserve, Vancouver or Seattle. Our home has four bedrooms , three bathrooms, a living room, sitting room off the kitchen, sauna and a large TV room downstairs. There is plenty of space for a large family. We back on to a forested park with a lovely stream. We often have deer in the garden eating the roses. We can walk to the local village for groceries, banking, coffee shops and the local pub.

FR080588Nous avons trouvé une maison très coquette aux abords très fleuris. La voiture proposée était parfaite. Le quartier était très zen et les voisins bienveillants. Ce fut un très bel échange ( notre deuxième au Canada après un premier réalisé dans la partie francophone).
