Nestled within the forests of Oceanside's Errington community and just steps from the Englishman River sits this charming 5-acre property. Complete with a spacious four-bedroom plus den rancher, a detached shop, and a separate guest house, this is the perfect package for those seeking the privacy and tranquility of a rural setting, the potential for recreation quite literally on your doorstep, and the room to breathe and grow both inside and out.

Ideally situated on a clearing amongst the trees, this property boasts walking-distance access to the river and to numerous swimming holes providing recreation and relief during the warm summer months for those fortunate enough to call 1026 Englishman River Road home while the six different varieties of salmon and trout that populate the river will provide year-round fishing opportunities mere steps from home.

Outside, the property offers the ability to live a more independent and self-sufficient life with features such as a detached shop, chicken coop, fenced-in vegetable and fruit gardens for year-round fresh, home-grown produce, and a picturesque pond in the front of the property which has been used to irrigate the lot.

With 2,658 sqft of comfortable living space, perfect for the growing family, there are large windows that create a bright and welcoming space, a cozy fireplace to take the chill off a cooler evening, and an open concept ensuring everyone stays connected.  The well-appointed kitchen is the heart of the home, offering ample cabinet and counter space to meet the chef's needs with an adjoining dining area to gather for a meal.  Easy access to the patio extends the living space outside and provides the ideal venue for entertaining and play and the place where memories will be made.

The southern wing of the home, just off the foyer, is where the four bedrooms are located including the spacious primary bedroom complete with a walk-in-closet and a five-piece ensuite that boasts a large jetted soaker tub in which to relax at the end of a long day, while the main bathroom is just steps away in this family-friendly layout.  A den/fifth bedroom is situated just off the living space while laundry facilities and a three-piece bathroom are conveniently located beside the attached garage which provides storage and covered parking rounding off this home.

The self-contained guest accommodation enjoys a private setting away from the main residence and offers vaulted ceilings, an open concept living space with a full kitchen, and the potential for two bedrooms, although neither currently has a closet, with the primary enjoying direct access to the main 4-piece bathroom.  

With its idyllic setting in the heart of some of the area's finest recreation, a comfortable family home plus self-contained guest accommodation ensuring there is plenty of room for everyone, and a detached shop for work or leisure pursuits, this Errington acreage offers endless possibilities but must be seen to be fully appreciated.
