Welcome to 'Valley Vista Acres’-a magical 10 acre parcel of ALR land brimming with potential. The sunny, south-facing acreage hosts an older duplex- style home now encompassing three separate dwellings, plus a sizable backyard with views reaching beyond the forest out to Mount Arrowsmith and the Island Mountains in the distance. There's also a large spring-fed pond, a sizable fenced garden, and two usable re-roofed outbuildings. With ample room for additional outbuildings, greenhouses, and crop production, A- 1 Agricultural zoning supports farming and ranching endeavors, equestrian uses, pet kennels and breeding, agri-tourism, and agri-business ventures. Roll up your sleeves and check this beauty out!

Located just a short drive from Parksville and Qualicum Beach, this sprawling acreage is ideal for those downsizing from a larger farm or ranch while still desiring a lifestyle of raising small animals, growing crops, and launching a hands-on business venture. Invest with siblings to run a family farm while everyone lives in the existing multi-unit home, or plan your future country retreat and use the current residence to accommodate farm workers. It offers a superb opportunity to unlock its full potential and carry a truly special property into the future.

A private circular entry drive winds through towering evergreens to a large parking area, setting the tone for this unique and storied property. The 2974 sqft home is a true handyman’s special, deeply rooted in more than 110 years of Errington history and ready for its next chapter. The original portion of the house was built in 1915 and expanded over time. Along the way, it has served as an old schoolhouse, a chicken hatchery, and now functions as a multi-dwelling residence rich in character and possibility.

From the foyer, a door opens to the Primary Dwelling, built on a solid cement foundation. It includes a sizable Living Room with parquet wood flooring, oversized windows, a woodstove, and space for a dining table. Glass doors, along with a sliding door, provide access to the back and side of the home.

The Kitchen includes a fridge, stove, and dishwasher, with cabinetry, open shelving, and a garden window overlooking the acreage. Nearby is a good-sized Pantry/Storage Room and a door to shared laundry facilities. Quietly tucked away on one corner of the home is a good-sized Bedroom, and completing the layout is a 3-pc Bath with a vessel sink and clawfoot soaker tub.

A second door off the foyer opens to a staircase with a decorative glass window, leading up to Dwelling Number 2. This unit features a large, open-plan Living/Dining Room with an overheight vaulted ceiling and a wall of vertical feature windows, flooding the space with natural light.

The Upper Kitchen includes white cabinetry and appliances, with ample counter space and a garden window overlooking the acreage. Completing the layout is a Bedroom with good closet space and the same vaulted ceiling found in the 4-pc Bath with its tub/shower combo.

Accessible from a separate covered exterior entry, the two-level Third Dwelling offers a spacious Kitchen with ample storage and counter space, a cross-beam ceiling, and a cozy Nook. A door leads to the laundry room shared with the main residence. Also on the main level is a large Living Room with wood flooring and a woodstove, a sliding glass door to a covered patio, and French doors opening to an Office/Den with a lighted ceiling fan and generous use of glass. Completing this level is a 4-pc Bath with a combined tub and shower.

Upstairs, a patterned glass door opens to a large Primary Bedroom with overheight vaulted ceilings, while a second door provides easy access to a 2-pc Bath also connected to a cozy Second Bedroom with a walk-in closet.

All three dwellings feature private entries, a generous use of glass, and cedar ceilings. The home is equipped with two separate hydro meters and three air-conditioning units that can be used as needed. The water system includes two 25-ft dug wells (one currently inactive) and two water collection cisterns, all feeding into a UV water disinfection system, with pumps and the overall system upgraded as required over the years.

Embraced by towering evergreens, the large cleared acreage features a huge grassy field and several outbuildings, including a 588 sqft shelter with two stalls and a metal roof, plus a 418 sqft shed with dual storage areas. A large fenced garden area is perfect for growing fresh herbs and vegetables, and a path leads to a huge spring-fed pond that has never dried up.

With A-1 Agricultural zoning and a mild climate, this property offers virtually limitless opportunities for farming and agri-business. Its long frost-free season supports a wide range of vegetables, specialty field crops, berries, grapes, herbs, and perennials, while also accommodating small livestock such as goats, sheep, and poultry. There’s space to add greenhouses for year-round leafy greens, explore aquaponics around the pond, or cultivate mushrooms. Agri-tourism ventures such as U-Pick farms, farm stores, roadside stands, workshops on permaculture or beekeeping, and local product sales like honey, preserves, sauces, and ciders are all possible, making this a truly versatile and productive property.

You are just minutes away from Errington Village Mall, a grocery store, gas station, and the Memorial Hall—home to a seasonal farmers market. In addition, this property is perfectly situated for delivering products, bringing in supplies, or servicing the entire mid-island region. Easy access to both the Alberni and Inland Highways puts you just 10 minutes from Parksville and Qualicum Beach, 25 minutes to North Nanaimo, 35 minutes to Port Alberni, and within 50 minutes of the Comox Valley.

This home and property are truly waiting for their next chapter to begin—come and be inspired!
