This property has it all, including what appears to be a stable foundation, shop and a chicken coop. This price and the existing infrastructure allows someone with some knowledge and no fear of hard work to establish themselves a great little hobby farm. The dream of self sufficiency is becoming more and more of a necessity as we can not afford our lives. I put down as much as I pick up at the grocery store, and this is not my regular MO.

Less than 15 min to the new hospital, and most of the big box stores, as well as the City of Duncan for work and Lake Cowichan for recreation! More details
