DESCRIPTION
Incomparable Qualicum North Acreage!

If you are seeking endless peace, quiet, and privacy in the beautiful rain forest of mid- Vancouver Island, this 3 Bed/2 Bath Rancher-Style Home in Qualicum North is your dream retreat. Nestled on 6.3 acres, the home enjoys a private, park-like setting that backs onto your own enchanting forest and borders two tranquil creeks.

Set on an insulated concrete crawlspace foundation, this 1442 sq ft Manufactured Home with 2 x 6 framing and Hardie board siding, features skylights and large windows, a massive, fenced garden area, fully serviced RV parking electrical hookup and sani-dump, and multiple storage sheds.

Eco-friendly additions include a solar power system and an advanced water purification system. The home is powered by solar energy during daylight hours, running through a 200-amp panel to support all household electrical needs (subject to sunlight levels and usage demand). When solar production exceeds the homes and vehiclesf requirements, the surplus energy is fed back into the grid, and the homeowners receive credit through the utility.

This property is perfectly situated just 20 minutes from Qualicum Beach and within easy reach of North Nanaimo and Courtenay/Comox. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, an extended entry drive welcomes you to a spacious parking area. Before stepping inside, take a moment to soak in the peacefulness and privacy, fully immersed in the surrounding forest and fresh country air. At the front of the home is a sunny, south-facing ¼-acre fenced garden area with apple and pear trees and plenty of space to expand and grow your own organic vegetables and herbs.

Stepping inside, you will find a Living Room featuring an over height vaulted ceiling, a large picture window framing views of the acreage and forest, and a WETT-certified woodstove adding cozy warmth and timeless charm. Adjacent is an open- concept Kitchen and Dining Room for everyday living and entertaining.

The Dining Room sports a large bay window with sunny south exposure, while the 4-piece Kitchen boasts triple skylights, a functional layout with generous countertop space and laminate cabinetry, and a 4-burner propane stove. The adjacent Laundry Room, complete with cupboards and exterior access, adds convenience and practicality.

Off the Living Room is a Primary Bedroom Suite with dual windows, a walk-in closet, and an over height vaulted ceiling. The stylish 4-piece ensuite features a soaker tub, a separate shower, a frosted glass window, and an architectural ceiling detail with inset lighting.

Tucked away on the opposite side of the home are two additional Bedrooms providing great flexibility—space for the kids, room for hobbies or a home office, or a place for out-of-town guests. One bedroom includes a glass door with backyard access, and both share a 4-piece bath with a combined tub and shower.

Steps away from the home is a charming lily pond—a serene Zen spot and frog habitat. The acreage also hosts dual storage sheds (one with solar power) and a Pump House. A pathway winds through your own private forest, where towering trees filter soft light onto moss-covered rocks, fallen logs, and ferns. The cool, fragrant air carries the sound of birdsong, and the property borders two creeks, Kincaid Creek, and Dolly Varden Creek—both tributaries of the Little Qualicum River with tiny fish.

This well-maintained manufactured home boasts a replaced fiberglass shingle roof (2019), durable linoleum, and vinyl flooring throughout, a forced- air furnace and electric wall heaters in all Bedrooms, and a 3.8-foot under height crawlspace for additional storage. There is also a 1,200- gallon septic system, dual 500-gallon rainwater collection tanks for irrigation, and fully serviced RV parking with septic, 30-amp hookups, and water supply.

The south-facing roof hosts banks of solar panels, feeding a 200-amp electrical system that powers a 30-amp RV hookup and a 40-amp EV charger. Grid- tied to BC Hydro, the renewable energy system generates power for the home, sending surplus back to the grid to earn credits and lower monthly bills. The water system consists of a 500-foot drilled well that the seller reports produces four gallons per minute, filtered through a multi-stage system with UV, sediment, and self-cleaning charcoal filters, plus dual reverse osmosis pressure tanks.

R2–Rural Residential zoning offers excellent expansion potential, including accessory buildings, home-based businesses, or a secondary suite. The best feature of all is the superb location: just a 3-minute drive to Meadowood General Store and within walking distance of Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park with its upper and lower waterfalls. You are only 20 minutes from the quaint, Euro-inspired shops of Qualicum Beach and within 45 minutes of three beautiful lakes, Cathedral Grove, North Nanaimo, and Courtenay/Comox.

This sun-soaked acreage is your private forest paradise in Qualicum North. Book your viewing today!
