    Set on 4.86 acres backing onto a creek and bordering Briarwood Park, 1220 Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road offers genuine country privacy within easy reach of both Mill Bay and Shawnigan Lake. The highway is five minutes away for commuters, while Kerry Park Recreation Centre, the local school, and Merridale and Unsworth Cideries are all within walking distance, with Mill Bay village shopping close by. A pull-through driveway serves an exceptional collection of outbuildings: a wired barn, a greenhouse, and an approximately 25' x 30' heated shop that is fully plumbed and wired. The barn and greenhouse each have their own water supply, and a chicken coop and fenced garden areas round out the working side of the property. The lower two acres are park-like, with well-maintained trails leading to the park boundary. Given the size and configuration of the parcel, there may be future subdivision potential for an additional lot, subject to zoning, approvals and buyer due diligence. Inside, the home carries a level of craftsmanship seldom found in newer construction, with stained-glass windows, custom built-ins and an updated kitchen that respects the character of the house. Expansive windows draw in natural light and views across the acreage. The loft-style primary retreat upstairs reads almost as a private residence, offering a real sense of separation and space. The lower level is a 6'6'' walkout basement and includes a dedicated area suited to arts and crafts, hobbies or a studio, with additional flexible space to suit changing needs. The result is an uncommon balance of acreage, privacy, functionality and character on the Malahat's doorstep. (id:2493) More details

    RARE! Hank Schubart designed home set on 23 pristine, private acres above Cowichan Bay, offering sweeping ocean, valley, and mountain views from nearly every room. Deep overhangs float above walls of glass, & low rooflines trace the land's contours, as if the house grew from the hillside. Inside, exposed fir beams and rusticated stone fireplaces anchor sun-filled living spaces, while terracotta tile and reclaimed hardwood carry warmth throughout. The kitchen, bathrooms, and decks have been updated over the years, blending comfort with the home's original character. Skylights wash the great room in light, and the kitchen opens onto expansive decks for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite sits beneath vaulted wood ceilings with its own own valley & ocean views. A log bunkhouse on stilts & a log workshop extend the setting into the forest. Henry ''Hank'' Schubart (1916–1998) was an American-Canadian architect whose life reads like an origin story for West Coast design. Inspired as a teenager by Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography, Schubart wrote to Wright and was accepted into his Taliesin fellowship, tuition waived. He later co-founded a San Francisco firm before moving his family to Salt Spring Island in the late 1960s, drawn by a commission and a wish to raise his sons away from the Vietnam War draft. Over the next three decades, he became the island's beloved community architect, designing over 230 homes known as ''Hank's Houses.'' His style took Wright's Prairie horizontals and reimagined them for the coast, substituting the flat prairie line for the line of the sea. He was renowned for his gift of siting, nestling each home into its landscape so it felt native to the forest, with exposed cedar, expansive glass, and rusticated stone as his signature. A genuine Schubart house rarely comes to market, let alone outside Salt Spring Island. To find one intact on 23 acres above Cowichan Bay is exceptional — not a house built in his style, but one of his own. (id:2493) More details

Cowichan Valley Farm and Acreage FAQ

What types of farms are common in the Cowichan Valley?

The region is known for vineyards, equestrian acreages, mixed farming operations, and lifestyle acreages. Smaller hobby farms and rural residential acreages are also common.

What should buyers check before purchasing rural property here?

Confirm water supply, septic systems, road access, zoning and ALR status, plus any easements or covenants on title. Independent inspections and professional advice are recommended.

Can I operate a farm-based business or agri-tourism venture?

It may be possible, but rules vary by zoning, ALR regulations, and local bylaws. Always confirm with the Municipality of North Cowichan, the CVRD, or the Agricultural Land Commission before proceeding with business or tourist accommodation plans.

This is general information only and not legal, financial, or construction advice. Verify all details independently before removing conditions.
