Description
My husband David and I have a home on 5 acres, on Texada Island, B.C. We have large gardens, a big, friendly Golden Retriever, a sweet Tom cat, 4 hens and a Rooster. We are surrounded by nature. The beach and Shelter Point Park are minutes from our home. Texada Island has two unique communities on it; Gillies Bay and Van Anda. We are a 30 minute ferry ride from Powell River.
