1271 Mt. Newton cross road is located on the edge of historic Mt Newton Valley looking South over 300 acres of pristine and beautiful farmland- looking all the way West to saanich inlet and the Malahat – really nothing like this pastoral, natural place on lower Vancouver Island - beautiful sunrises with the valley full of mist all the way West to Saanich inlet and the Malahat mountains for amazing sunsets all year long.

The home is one of the Thomson farmhouses- Scottish pioneers that settled here in the 1850’s and cleared much of the valley and established a large farm.

This house was built by one of the sons circa 1890’, just down the road from “Bannockburn” (the original family home) – It is a charming Victorian “Italianate” that remains in excellent condition today, improved with modern amenities and features- 3 new bathrooms all with heated tile floors and latest in smart washlet toilets and beautiful fir cabinetry.

A new kitchen features 20’ ceilings and new over sized windows and doors facing South to view the valley- a large 24’x14’ sundeck is located off the kitchen and made from IPE, a very beautiful and highest quality Brazilian hardwood that will never deteriorate. There has been many electrical mechanical improvements to the home and even 240V EV charging rough in.

The property has just doubled in size from approx. .6 acres to 1.2 acres as a result of a lot line change/subdivision and is improved with gorgeous lawns and gardens and trees and is complete with a 25 zone irrigation system for easy care. The property underwent a major landscape makeover 5 years ago (including a driveway excavation and replacement) and is maturing very beautifully. All the fencing is built by expert carpenters/jointers and all in clear western red cedar.

Enjoy the new hot tub overlooking the valley complete with outside shower.

Other improvements new 240 v electrical sytem, new 500’ well and pump for abundant water and a new pressure water and filter system. Municipal water is available at the road if desired but its nice to get it for free and not be worried about watering restrictions in the middle of a hot ,dry summer.

Recent changes to Provincial legislation allows a second residence on AL-1 zoned property for family or rental subject to Municipal approvals. This is a place to enjoy a country life in what is known as The Fair Land of the Saanich Peninsula minutes to the town of Sidney, Villages of Brentwood and Saanichton , and the
Victoria International airport and BC Ferries- while only 30 minutes to downtown Victoria
