Charming Rancher with Detached Studio. This well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rancher offers easy island living. Set on a level lot with a sunny clearing and trees around the perimeter, the property features large decks—including a newly replaced side deck. The open layout includes a spacious kitchen and a dining room with a large sliding door to the deck. Features a rebuilt water system and updated windows for comfort and peace of mind. Other highlights are the metal roof, Hardie plank siding, laminate floors, UV light and filters, and a full foundation. The 120 sq ft detached studio makes an ideal workspace, art studio, or home office. Septic was pumped in 2022, the woodstove inspected and cisterns cleaned in 2025, adding to the home’s move-in-ready appeal. Located within walking distance to the Village core, ferry, shops, and restaurants, this property combines convenience with the relaxed Gabriola lifestyle—just a 25-minute ferry ride to Nanaimo.
