Elegant Equestrian Estate Retreat – Beautiful 5-Bed Home on 10 Acres

Description

We’re offering our beautiful, fully furnished home for a fixed-term sabbatical rental and are looking for tenants who will treat it with the same care and respect we do. This is not just a rental—it’s a quiet, well-loved, professionally designed and landscaped space on a peaceful 10-acre gated equestrian estate. This unit offers 5 spacious bedrooms, two with en-suites, and lots of storage space. We’re looking for responsible, mature individuals or couples—university faculty, researchers, writers, artists, or professionals on sabbatical—who are seeking a peaceful retreat to live and work for a fixed term. This home is best suited to those with a quiet, low-impact lifestyle who appreciate high-end furnishings, thoughtful design, and the calming presence of nature. It’s perfect for someone writing a book, conducting research, or simply taking a restful break. There are horse riding lessons available We value tenants who: - Have a professional, respectful presence - Are clean, tidy, and conscientious - Appreciate high-quality furnishings and will treat the home with care - Lead a quiet lifestyle and do not host large gatherings - Are non-smokers and will not sublet the space - Can provide strong references and proof of income/sabbatical support - Are looking for a short or fixed-term rental (1 week-6 months) - Price is negotiable for longer stays For horse lovers or the simply curious, there’s a special bonus: you’ll be living on an active equestrian property. The horses are just steps away, and riding lessons may be available on-site by arrangement, making this an exceptional opportunity to engage with horses in a low-key, accessible way—even if you’re a beginner. We may consider a well-behaved, house-trained pet on a case-by-case basis. Ample parking, private deck space, laundry, and stunning pastoral views included. Just 6 minutes from UVic and close to shopping, dining, and nature. The longer the tenancy, the more room to negotiate a price. If this sounds like the right fit, please reach out with information about yourself, your sabbatical, and why you’re interested in this space. We look forward to hearing from you.
