The space
This property is large mostly covered by tall trees such as red cedars, hemlock, birch trees. We suggest wearing comfortable shoes if you plan on exploring all of it. Of the 30 acres, approx. 13 acres is grassland filled with natural wildflowers during the spring and summer. The rest of the acreage is forest with a private trail that weaves through the trees and across a stream. There is a lot of wildlife including otters, northern pygmy owls, belted kingfishers, bald eagles, ravens, wood peckers, goldfinches, hummingbirds, tree frogs and etc. Great for birdwatching! There is a gazebo on the island in the middle of the lake that makes a quiet spot for reading or bird watching. Please keep front gate closed to keep deer out. The 13 acre grassy area is fully deer fenced. Dogs can go off leash. The guest suite stretches out from the main house with its own entrance. The many windows in suite directly face the garden and Vancouver island coastal mountain views.

Organic fruit and vegetables are right here in our garden and available for sale in summer. You will definitely be amazed by how fresh they are. To buy our fruit and vegetables while you are on Denman, call or text us.
