DESCRIPTION
OPEN HOUSE - 3405 Ponderosa Way, Qualicum Beach. Sunday Dec 22 @ 1-3 pm. Hosted by Leah Yochim.

Inspiring Qualicum Beach Acreage with a Private Home and Detached Shop. Attention: those with ambitious plans and larger- than-life dreams—this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for! Resting in a serene, forested setting only minutes from Qualicum Beach, you will find this sprawling 6.20-acre rural property hosting a spacious 5518 sqft Country Home, a large Detached Shop designed to operate as an Industrial Kitchen, and a large Greenhouse with a fenced garden area.

This amazing package offers an unparalleled opportunity to run a commercial food production and distribution business, create Guest Accommodations for extended family or farm workers, add a barn, stables, and a riding ring, or whatever your heart desires. Flexible A1- Agricultural zoning allows for various farm and agricultural uses, and the superb ALR designation offers a lower tax rate. Much of the preliminary planning and work on the home and acreage has been completed, but there are still many opportunities to unlock the full potential of this remarkable property.

An entry drive leads to a large parking area that offers plenty of room for all your personal, recreational, and work-related vehicles. Here you will find this spacious 5518 sqft 5 Bed/4 Bath Country Home embraced by its setting of wide-open blue skies and the timeless forestland of mid- eastern Vancouver Island.

This expansive home boasts skylights and abundant glass for a bright atmosphere, a massive deck and patio for outdoor living, and stunning views of Mount Arrowsmith and the Island Mountain Range. There is also an upper-level 1 Bed/1 Bath Guest Suite and a partly finished lower level that offers the potential to expand your living space, add extra accommodations, or use the space for your home-based business venture.

From the over height pillared porch, step into a foyer that opens to a light and airy open-concept Kitchen, Family, and Dining area, where gleaming maple engineered flooring flows beneath a stunning vaulted ceiling with dual skylights. The sizable Family Room features a large bay window and an eye-catching rock feature wall hosting a propane fireplace, ready to offer warmth and a cozy ambiance on cooler evenings.

The large Country Kitchen offers ample countertop workspace, plenty of custom cabinetry by Parksville’s ‘O’Rion Kitchens’, a built-in computer/phone desk area, dual ‘Fisher & Paykel’ wall ovens, a double-door dishwasher, and a walk- in pantry with a repurposed antique wooden door. There are also two islands—one with a gas cooktop and the other a large, tiered island with a breakfast bar and prep sink.

The spacious Dining Area features a built-in China cabinet and French doors that open to a huge 763 sqft wrap-around deck with a lovely view overlooking the forested acreage. Perfectly covered for year-round enjoyment, this inviting outdoor space offers ample room for a BBQ and several outdoor living areas, durable concrete tile flooring, and an inviting hot tub for relaxing hydrotherapy.

A second private deck is accessible exclusively by French doors from the Primary Bedroom Suite, which offers sliding barn door access from the main living area, a large walk-in closet, and a good- sized 4 pc ensuite featuring pebble rock flooring with in-floor heating, a polished concrete-topped dual sink vanity, and a large glass shower.

Tucked away on the opposite side of the home is a hallway hosting a 2 pc Powder Room, also with pebble rock flooring, and two Bedrooms sharing "Jack & Jill" access to a 4 pc Bath with a tub/shower combo. There is also a Laundry/Mud Room with a door leading to the attached 874 sqft 2-Bay Double Garage, featuring 200-amp electrical service.

A second door from the Laundry/Mud Room provides access to the deck, while a staircase leads to a 614 sqft upper-level Guest Suite that includes a good-sized Living Area, a cozy Bedroom, and a 3 pc Bath with tile flooring, a pedestal sink, and a shower.

From the main level of the home, a staircase with picture windows leads down to the partly finished 2434 sqft walk-out lower level with electrical and plumbing already in place. This space offers endless possibilities, from adding a Rec Room and additional Bedrooms to creating a full In-Law or Guest Suite, a Rental Home, or even a Retail Area for your home-based business.

Currently there is a huge Flex Space with a wood stove and doors to a massive, covered patio with a wood storage area, plus a Media/Storage Room, a finished Bedroom, a 4 pc Bath with pebble rock flooring and a tub/shower combo, and a ‘Treatment Room.’ Additionally, there are two unfinished storage areas, one of which would make an excellent Wine Cellar.

Among the extra features you will find a central vacuum system, an air conditioner, and a heat pump offering year-round comfort, a never-used ‘Trane’ forced air furnace that could be hooked up for use, a built-in indoor/outdoor speaker system with zones throughout the home, a replaced hot water tank (2020), and hand-split cedar shingles on the exterior of the home with an R-8 value.

Additionally, there is a septic system with a new pump, two large fully-owned propane tanks for the gas cooktop and fireplace, a drilled well by ‘Red Williams’ that the seller reports is capable of 15 gallons-per-minute, and the entire property has 400 amp service—more than enough to accommodate most industrial and mechanical needs.

Just steps away from the home is a cozy firepit area, perfect for evening gatherings, as well as a fabulous Detached 1630 sqft 2-Bay Shop that has been designed to operate as a Commercial Kitchen and boasts an over height ceiling, a ‘Trimline’ 50- year roof, an unfinished 3 pc Bath with a shower, and an attached extended Single Car Garage.

A staircase leads up to the bright 1208 sqft upper level with its own 125 amp electrical, a great flex space that is already framed into four separate rooms and could be finished into guest accommodation as a 2 Bedroom Suite or Carriage House.

The property features a massive greenhouse with 150-amp electrical service, plumbed for in-floor heating, along with an adjacent fenced garden area equipped with raised garden boxes—perfect for growing your own fresh organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

Fabulous A1-Agricultural zoning allows for a variety of farm/agricultural uses, home-based businesses, the addition of farm and non-farm buildings or structures, and even the construction of a new Home with a secondary suite. With plenty of room to add another Workshop or a Barn with stables, this property is ideal for those seeking to expand agricultural or business operations.

Last but certainly not least is the exceptional location that perfectly marries the beauty of rural life with the conveniences of modern living. You are only a quick 10-minute drive away from the quaint Village Center in Qualicum Beach, just 15 minutes from the City of Parksville, and within a 20-minute drive of the extensive North Nanaimo shopping district.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of walking and riding trails in the vicinity, while families will benefit from the nearby school bus stop that takes children to Qualicum Beach Elementary and Kwalikum Secondary School. The nearby Inland and Alberni Highways offer easy access to the iconic goats-on-the-roof market in Coombs, three stunning lakes, Cathedral Grove, Mt Arrowsmith for climbing and hiking, and winter skiing at Mount Washington, making this location a true paradise for all who enjoy an active lifestyle.

Rarely does such a unique acreage come on the market; do not miss this special opportunity!
