Acreages and luxury homes in Chilliwack
Ten acres in Ryder Lake, a hobby farm in Greendale, a waterfront place at Cultus. These are the moves I love, and the ones that need the most care.
Acreages and hobby farms
I grew up on acreage. I know what you are buying.
An acreage is a house, a business, a water system and a lifestyle all in one. Price it like a house in a subdivision and you leave money on the table. Buy it like one and you can inherit a very expensive surprise.
What I check on every acreage
- WaterWell depth, flow rate, a fresh water test, and whether city water is at the road.
- SepticAge, last pump out, field location, and an inspection before subjects come off.
- The ALRWhat the Agricultural Land Reserve allows for homes, suites, shops and businesses on this parcel.
- Flood and slopeFloodplain maps on the valley floor, and drainage, slope and retaining walls up the hill.
- OutbuildingsPermits, power to the shop, and what each building can legally be used for.
- Living out thereInternet, cell signal, snow on the hill, and the real drive time to town.
Where I work most:
Luxury and move up homes
Higher price points, handled with care
Above a million dollars the buyer pool gets smaller, the homes get more unique and the comparables get harder to find. That is where preparation and negotiation pay for themselves many times over.
For buyers
- Private showings on your schedule, and quiet word on homes before they hit the market when I hear of them
- Real comparables pulled for unique homes
- Inspections, permits and the questions to ask about custom work, pools, suites and shops
- Calm, firm negotiation. I keep emotion out of it so you can enjoy the part that matters
For sellers
- Pricing built from recent rural and luxury sales, current market stats and a clear read on today’s buyer
- Professional photography, drone and a cinematic film of the home and the lifestyle around it
- A Property Handbook documenting every building, system and upgrade
- Paid social and targeted reach to buyers moving out from Metro Vancouver

“Nahum worked persistently to sell our home from day one. His focus and efforts made the difference in a slow market. He was always available, communicated thoroughly and kept us calm through the whole process.” Greg and Lisa, sold an acreage
Acreage and luxury questions
How much is an acreage worth in Chilliwack?
It depends on far more than the house: usable land, water, septic, outbuildings, ALR status, view and access. I build every acreage valuation from recent rural sales and current market stats. Ask me for a free value report.
Can I build a second home or suite on my acreage?
On land in the Agricultural Land Reserve, extra dwellings are limited and usually need approval. Rules differ by zoning and parcel size, so check with the City of Chilliwack or the Fraser Valley Regional District before you buy or build.
What should I inspect on a rural property?
Water quantity and quality, the septic system, the roof and structure of every building, electrical service to the shop and barn, and drainage. I help you line up the right inspectors before your subjects are due.
How do you market a luxury home?
Professional photos, drone and video, a Property Handbook, paid social reach to Lower Mainland buyers, private showings and a launch plan. The goal is the right buyer in the first two weeks.
