Ah, Fort Langley.
The area's history goes all the way back to 1827, according to the Government of Canada, when it served as the Hudson's Bay Company post for fur trading, as well as a trade route for the British Empire.
These days, Fort Langley is recognized as a national historic site, with many heritage buildings now restored, and it has become a popular filming location for movies and television shows thanks to its old-world charm and natural beauty.
Here you can find beautiful, sprawling properties like 24990 88th Avenue. This newly-listed home is located within The Bluff, one of Fort Langley's more prestigious neighbourhoods, named after the nearby Bluff Park.
The property sits a stone's throw away from the Fraser River, a 12-minute walk from Bluff Park, a three-minute drive from the private Fort Langley Airport, and is surrounded by nearly a dozen family farms, providing an abundance of peace and privacy.

The home was built in 1984, and is equipped with nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 8,100 sq. ft of living space atop a 30.72-acre lot. Also on site are a detached two-bedroom home, a detached one-bedroom cottage, a horse barn, and other auxiliary buildings.
The exterior of the home looks akin to mansions found in Louisiana, with their multi-storey-tall posts by the main entrance and abundance of greenery. That greenery, which surrounds the property (and even makes its way inside at times -- check out the gallery below), also makes the home feel very villa-like, particularly when taken in from the large outdoor patio space.

Our Favourite Thing
Multiple rooms in the main house have a partially-circular design, with numerous windows scattered along the curved wall that provide truly panoramic views of the property and beyond.
The detached two-bedroom home is ready-made to be operated as a rental property, as is the detached one-bedroom cottage and the basement suite in the main house, which is equipped with its own private entrance.
Elsewhere on the property sits a 80x60 heated storage and shop building; a five-stall horse barn with tack room, kitchen, and washroom; and two additional equipment sheds.
The property provides enough parking space to comfortably accommodate nearly 60 cars, which -- along with its size -- makes the property a fantastic venue for large gatherings, such as weddings.
Or, you can just keep it to yourself and slowly enjoy its many, many charms.
