“This home is very well maintained and perfect for that secondary residence or island get away. This well structured straight building was crafted with better materials at a better time,” the listing reads.
Nickel Bros., a longtime B.C.-based home recycling company, has been in business since 1956, with house moves at the root of its business.
The company now has Canadian and U.S. operations and relocates a range of structures from historic homes going around the corner to a 200-ton pressure vessel being transported Canada from China.

Recycling houses remains a popular option, with several moving around – or out of – Greater Victoria each year. Reasons vary from environmental to cost savings and the quality of construction found in a vintage home.
Over the decades, Nickel Bros. has performed hundreds of historic building moves, thousands of character and modern building moves and thousands of house-lifting projects. The company sees the relocation of quality recycled houses and upcycled houses as its greatest environmental impact.
