GREENFROG FARM
LOCATION
Getting here is easy. Galiano Island is a quick 50 minute ferry ride from Vancouver or a convenient 15 minute seaplane flight. This private south end location is a short drive to both terminals and a mere 30 minute walk to multiple restaurants, grocery stores and a charming café/bookstore. Though central in location, Greenfrog farm is surrounded by 1000 acres of forest-zoned lands and is within a 1/2 hour hike to the peak of Mt. Galiano as well as a handful of secluded beaches.
THE HOUSE
Facing west and overing looking the apple / pear orchard, this lovingly crafted home dates back to 1962. The 2-bedroom residence boasts a mix of elegant engraved terra cotta tiles and rich fir floors with exquisite wooden beams throughout. A grand stone fireplace takes center stage in the great room, while multiple floor to ceiling sliders open onto broad, shallow steps that beckon one to the orchard and meadow beyond. Above, turkey vultures soar gracefully in the wind, and ravens call out from the lush mixed forest that surrounds.
THE COTTAGE
Moving east from the main house and nestled between the eastern pond and the heritage orchard, sits the charming cottage. This one-bedroom gem, with its board-and-batten exterior, features an open-plan layout with a central kitchen and a vintage wood stove. The dining area offers sweeping views of the west-facing deck and the heritage orchard in the valley below.
THE LAND
Certified organic in 1992, Greenfrog Farms spans 15 acres of fields, gardens, ponds and orchards. The remaining acreage is mixed, second growth forest. The fertile soil is deep rock-free sandy loam. The entire property is abundant in local plants and wildlife providing ample resources to sustain passionate families dedicated to growing and harvesting their own food.
ZONING
Approximately 55 acres of this property are zoned ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve), while the remaining 7-ish acres fall under Rural Residential zoning. This zoning allows for the addition of another home, guest cottage and expansion of the existing structures. A conservation covenant protects the natural treasures for the future generations.
