Canada’s children’s troubadour is selling his B.C. home, which is now up for grabs for $1,995,000.
Raffi Cavoukian, the man responsible for generations of kids growing up singing tunes like “Baby Beluga,” “Bananaphone” and “Down by the Bay,” says he has lived at the idyllic property on Salt Spring Island for a decade-and-a-half, but it’s time to say goodbye.
As he wrote on social media last week, “life is change.”
“I’ve moved to a lovely new home not far from my previous one that I enjoyed for 16 years. That unique beauty will totally charm the right family,” he said.
The recently listed “serene and sunny retreat” on 241 Sky Valley Rd. sits on eight acres of forested land, and boasts panoramic ocean and mountain views including of the North Shore mountains and Mount Baker.
A unique feature advertised in the listing is a “treezeebo,” a treehouse-gazebo hybrid.
Built in 1976, the 3,517-square-foot house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large deck.
