Nature Lover’s Paradise – Serene Home on 3 Acres of Untouched Forest. Discover your own slice of paradise on nearly 3 acres of pristine, natural forest, where arbutus trees create peaceful groves and the sounds of wildlife greet you daily. This property is ideal for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and those seeking tranquility. At the heart of the property lies a stunning natural pond, enhanced with Oriental touches, reflecting the changing seasons in breathtaking beauty. The forest is alive with the presence of deer, squirrels, owls, and an abundance of mushrooms and ferns, making every moment feel like a scene from a nature documentary. The west-facing home is thoughtfully designed to bring the outdoors in, with large windows and a spacious deck that provide uninterrupted views of the surrounding wilderness. Whether you’re watching wildlife or enjoying the vibrant colours of autumn, it’s as if nature itself becomes your entertainment. The lovingly maintained home offers easy-care living with 2 bedrooms upstairs, a generous kitchen with a cozy eating nook overlooking the pond, and an expansive living/dining area that opens to the large deck – perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding. Downstairs, you’ll find an additional bedroom, bathroom, family room, and workshop, with the potential to restore the space to a suite for guests or extended family. This property is a must-see for anyone looking to embrace nature in its purest form, while enjoying the comfort of a warm, welcoming home.

About

Brad Forrest, a resident of the Westshore for the past 30 years, and a Realtor for nearly half of that, has built his business on three primary characteristics: integrity, straight-forwardness and creativity. Brad enables his clients to make informed decisions by ensuring they are well-equipped with all necessary information, whether positive or negative. By using creative approaches in advertising, Brad also further supports his clients interests above his own by focusing on client listing goals rather than enhancing his own brand through bus-stop style advertisements, “Personal referrals from very satisfied clients is not only my brand, but my priority!” 

With a family of outdoor enthusiasts, it comes as no surprise that Brad’s relaxed and family-oriented lifestyle further amplifies his extensive skills in real estate, such as his keen, strategic negotiation skills, or his deep understanding of the geographical area. These family oriented values, combined with his client-first approach to business will guarantee a successful and enjoyable process for his clients. After all, “This is your real estate journey, and I am just here to guide you along it.”
