Gabriola Island, nestled along the east coast of Vancouver Island, enjoys the refreshing embrace of the cool ocean breeze and the warmth of the pacific sun. This tranquil and invigorating atmosphere creates a wonderful place to relax and a perfect environment for growing fruit. Known as the “Isle of the Arts”, Gabriola has a vibrant community of artists, artisans, and craft food/drink producers. As one of the island’s only agritourism destinations, Ravenskill Orchard/Gabbie’s Cider has taken full advantage of Gabriola Island’s wonder. In 2005, this 27 acre property was entirely covered in forest. A portion of the property was cleared, and in 2007 the “modern farmhouse” 3 bedroom estate house was constructed. A 5 acre orchard, known as Ravenskill Orchard, was planted. Then, in 2013 the “cidery” cedar barn was built and Gabbie’s Cider began producing on the island. Gabbie’s Cider produces premium, dry ciders from apples grown in the orchard and apples purchased from the Okanagan. Produced on the property, their ciders are “ciders for wine drinkers” and have low residual sugar and well-balanced flavour. They produce 8 varieties including Purple Sage, Citus-Hopped Cider, Groovin’ Granny Smith, Real Dry, and Batch 1018 Vintage Cider. The 2,600 square foot home is a spectacular example of a modern farmhouse. The home has vaulted ceilings throughout, concrete acid-stained floors on the main floors and arbutus hardwood floors upstairs. The large country kitchen has professional grade stainless steel appliances and a big kitchen island. There is a gas fireplace on the main floor with a fireplace roughed in for the upstairs. The master bedroom ensuite has a jetted soaker tub and double walk-in rain shower. The home is finished with beautiful metal siding exterior painted a deep mauve, reflecting traditional farm styling. The “cidery” barn is a classic, iconic, cedar barn with concrete aprons and an entrance garden. The barn has a 288 square foot indoor tasting/retail area for farmgate sales. The production facilities, home to a sizeable walk-in fridge and all production tanks total 1,700 square feet. The barn has an adjacent tasting patio under a large tent with lights. Charcuterie is served to guests along with Gabbie’s refreshing ciders. Gabbie’s Cider is a pivotal part of the Gabriola Island community. Along with farm cider sales and keg sales to local restaurants, Gabbie’s hosts fresh juice sales in September/October, seasonal U-Pick/We-Pick apple sales, apple pie sales, sells locally crafted products in the shop, has a patio events program including their “working folk cider hours”, cider and cheesemaking classes, and around 8 to 10 live music events during the summer. They also participate in local community events including the Salmon BBQ, Cultivate, and Farm to Table. The Ravenskill Orchard property is surrounded by lush forest. Backing onto a regional park, the property has direct access to over 1,000 acres of wonderful forest trails. Mountain bikers and hikers alike travel to Gabriola for its’ trails, stopping by Gabbie’s for a delicious cider treat. The opportunity to acquire this one-of-a-kind property includes the property, cider production equipment, Gabbie’s Cider brand, Ravenskill Orchard brand, and fully staffed business. With frequent ferry service daily to Nanaimo, this spectacular property offers the opportunity to operate an agricultural business in the idyllic Gulf Islands and further grow Gabbie’s as a major agritourism destination on Gabriola Island.
