Located in the scenic Cowichan Valley, one of Canada's most coveted regions, this exceptional opportunity presents a 4-bedroom, 3-bath home with an in-law suite, den, workshop, and 2-car garage. The property, set on 5 acres, offers stunning mountain views, a chef's kitchen, geothermal heating, and central air. It is designed for dog-related businesses and features the correct zoning and a contemporary-style home. The extensive dog-friendly landscaping, including a charming courtyard with a large water garden and a dog beach, adds to the property’s appeal.
This turnkey package includes three thriving businesses:
1. Top-Rated Australian Labradoodle Breeding Business: Consistently rated as the best in BC. Litters are typically pre-sold. The sale includes all breeding dogs (breeding dogs live in Guardian homes, not with owner), equipment, and a solid online presence, including a renowned YouTube channel. Breeding dogs all live with Guardian families. No breeding dogs live with the business operators. Gross revenue: $380,000; Partners' draw: $204,000 with $60,000 in owner expenses covered.
2. Online Dog Food/Supply Store: Gross revenue: $250,000, with a net profit of $75,000. It has a fully operational Shopify website with significant growth potential. Inventory is available for purchase separately.
3. Pet Resort: Currently catering to puppy families, this business has the potential to evolve into a comprehensive daycare and boarding service. All assets for this business are included. The business is ripe for expansion, with a gross revenue of approximately $25,000 and a net income of $20,000.
The property is zoned for these businesses and allows for a second home, ideal for multigenerational living. This is a rare opportunity to live and work in a beautiful, temperate part of Canada. No experience is needed, just a passion for dogs. The current owners will provide two years of mentorship to the new owners.
