About this home

Prime 3.79-acre horse property with high-bank Skookumchuck River frontage in peaceful Bucoda. This bright, well-cared-for 3-bedroom rambler offers thoughtful updates, comfortable living, and beautifully maintained pasture in a quiet, private setting. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, eating space, and included appliances. A vaulted family room overlooks the pasture, while three French doors with built-in blinds bring in abundant natural light. The oversized primary bedroom includes an attached bath with updated walk-in shower. Additional features include fresh interior/exterior paint, heat pump with A/C, new water heater, central vacuum, backup gas generator, and cordless easy-lift blinds. Outside, a 24x36 barn offers a loft, two stalls with room for more, and 14-ft lean-tos along both sides. A separate 24x36 shop provides RV storage and matching 14-ft lean-tos on both sides. The property is fenced and cross-fenced with approximately 900 ft of white vinyl fencing and manicured pasture, making it well suited for horses or cattle. An English walnut tree, fruit trees, and an inviting backyard patio add to the setting, with the river forming a scenic backdrop at the rear of the property.
