Equestrian and agricultural infrastructure is extensive, featuring a 30x30 powered barn with water and five stalls, a 90x100 riding arena, a hay shed, a chicken coop, and multiple storage outbuildings. The land is fully fenced with established fruit trees, garden space, and productive pastures. Key updates include a new propane furnace in 2020 and a new well pump in 2018, ensuring this property is move-in ready for your agricultural or multi-generational living vision. (id:63761)

Local Due Diligence & Property Realities

Daily experience varies significantly by neighbourhood. The downtown and harbourfront core offers genuine walkability with local shops and dining, but higher-elevation neighbourhoods like Hillcrest or Raven shift toward vehicle dependency and distinct winter challenges. Because of elevation change, hillside neighbourhoods often receive substantially more snow than lake-level areas. While upland districts offer larger lots and proximity to schools, they require comfort with steep winter commutes and the necessity of private snow clearing on steep driveways. The city's urban boundaries are tightly constrained by protected Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) farmland, creating a reality where modern subdivisions sit directly adjacent to active agricultural operations. Residents must navigate "Right to Farm" provisions, which prioritize agricultural production — meaning seasonal smells, noise, and dust from farming operations are a practical consideration.
