Beautiful townhouse in rural setting close to everything in Victoria, BC

We live in a large townhouse in a 75 hectare park-like setting surrounded by farms, but just 5 minutes to the town of Sidney and 25 minutes to downtown Victoria and UVic. As we have just retired, we are open to potential exchanges pretty much anywhere and our schedule is very flexible. There are lots of walking trails on/connected to our property and we are close to beaches, ferries, airport etc. Unfortunately, no pets or children under 18 are permitted (by our strata). Victoria and UVic are both world-class destinations with lots of sabbatical/tourist opportunities and close to Vancouver/Seattle with easy connections. Fully equipped office, fast internet, wireless etc.

About Me
I have recently retired as a Professor of both Public Health and Nursing, though for the final 17 years of my career I served in senior academic leadership positions as VP of Research and VP Academic/Provost. My wife and I have done many home exchanges over the years and now have the freedom to travel more extensively. We prefer to stay in “homes” of any kind vs hotels or B&Bs and to live like a local, soaking up an area’s cultural, historical and culinary offerings.
