  Descripción

  Our Shire is on a beautiful spot on Southern Vancouver Island. This 2.5 acre property was once part of a 160 acre farm started in 1896. Due to this fact, it is a large, sunny spot surrounded by forests, and a ten minute walk to the beach or a beautiful creek. Hiking trails are all around as well as many beaches to explore.
  There are 2 tiny houses and a newly built rammed earth house on the property as well as some old fruit trees, 120+ year old Black Walnut tree, and a Linden tree that blooms at the end of June.
  
  Also on the property, a healing hut used for energy treatments and an 1956 Mercury bus (the original Canadian school buses) my friend uses as her art studio- she teaches classes under the amazing big trees.
  Three of us live on the property full time plus Marley the silver lab. A well provides us with great, pure drinking water.
