Property Description
This icon of Gabriola, Ike’s Orchard, is now available to purchase. 8.76 acre ocean view property with an active and historically relevant orchard complemented by a beautiful log home The property is operating as an orchard with approximately 700 fruit bearing trees. The majority are varieties of apples, but there are also a large selection of pear trees and plums. There are two homes on the property: a log home that was built in 2005 is at the top of the property with amazing ocean & orchard views and a 2 bed rancher (in need of some attention) is in the bottom corner. There also is a log ‘bunkie’ with storage below and a handy 20’x30’ workshop on the property. There is a separately fenced vegetable garden area, 5 water wells, a huge 1 million gallon pond, inground irrigation and access off of 2 roads. The seller is willing to spend a year passing on his 40+ years of knowledge of running and managing the business, including his retail contacts. At it’s peak, the orchard was producing 200,000lbs of apples/yr and demand outstripped production. The orchard needs some attention and energy to bring it back to it’s glory but this would also make an amazing horse pasture and for the right buyer, future development into multiple lots could be possible.
