Welcome to Arbutus Heights, a 3000 square foot home at the top of Little Mountain, known locally as the sacred mountain. Welcomed at the gate by four sentinel arbutus trees, one bearing a natural heart in its bark, this 1.3 acre property is your own private park nestled in nature's beauty. Inside, a two story hexagon living room banked in windows and an open mezzanine connect you to the forest, ravens overhead and dappled leaf shadows through the trees. Maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a large island highlight the kitchen. Three generously sized bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms nourish family and guests, alongside a cozy WETT certified wood stove and a new 2025 propane range. Outside, curved decks welcome you and an elevated wrap around deck offers views of the acreage and beyond. Winding trails cross the fenced, gated property, with a parking area and a garden with greenhouse. Bordering parkland offers unobstructed mountain vistas, with hiking and biking trails just beyond. Minutes from Parksville, Rathtrevor Beach, and Nanaimo. Come, ground, breathe. Book a showing today.
