ABOUT THE LAND
Nestled on a picturesque 6.5-acre property in the District of North Saanich on Vancouver Island, this 1-acre plot offers fertile, level ground ready for cultivation. The land carries a legacy of agricultural use: it is located in the ALR and was once part of a cattle ranch. While the surrounding fields are still being used for hay production and cattle grazing by neighbouring ranchers, this available acre presents an immediate opportunity for small-scale farming.
The plot comes with essential infrastructure to support your farming vision, including access to city water at agricultural rates, partial fencing in place, and shared use of a newly constructed ‘garden stand’ (pictured above) complete with power—ideal for farm-gate sales.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
The landholders are currently producing eggs and mixed vegetables in their newly established garden, and are excited to share their property with another dedicated farmer. With their own projects keeping them busy, they’re offering an opportunity for someone to take on the remaining acre and make it their own.
They envision the space being used for market vegetables, cut flowers, or beekeeping—enterprises that complement the existing activity on the land while allowing the incoming farmer space to build their own operation. A ‘garden stand’ (pictured below) is available for shared use.
Located in the heart of North Saanich, this property is part of a thriving agricultural region known for its strong local food culture, supportive farming networks, and proximity to farmers markets and urban centres like Sidney and Victoria. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to expand your existing farm business, this land offers the chance to grow your farm business within a vibrant rural community.
ABOUT THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate for this opportunity is a responsible and respectful farmer with a good understanding of small-scale agriculture and a commitment to maintaining a tidy, well-managed growing space. Someone who takes pride in their work, communicates clearly, and is mindful of shared land, infrastructure, and respectful of neighbouring properties would be the right fit.
