Description
Westview Farm is one of Hornby's most recognizable heritage properties. Established in 1895 and admired for more than a century, this west-facing farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character. Front verandas, supported by old-growth timber beams, overlook fields that stretch towards the ocean, with year-round sunsets & views of the Comox Glacier. Inside, the great room features clear fir floors & beautiful woodwork, flowing into an open kitchen with fine cabinetry, stone counters & a commercial butler's pantry. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the farm. A storybook mudroom is ready for farm boots after a day outdoors. The orchard includes 18 heritage apple varieties, seven pear trees & two rows of Italian plums. The front pasture produces forage hay, & the property has farm status through the sale of hay & apples. Rich in history, character & natural beauty, Westview Farm is truly unlike any other.
