EXCEPTIONAL LIGHT and A HOME FOR ALL SEASONS This is the essence of Salt Spring – quiet, natural, peaceful – with one level living, all the sought-after features of a modern home, outside living spaces and architecture designed to blur the line between indoor and outdoor -- trellised patios, gazebo, French doors -- all to take advantage of the exceptional light. Set on a gently sloping, south-facing 8.13 acres, this 2250+ sf home was carefully conceived and brilliantly executed, with serene pastoral, forest and water views over Weston Lake and beyond.

Room (and sun) for gardens, serious or recreational, farm possibilities and opportunities for self-sufficiency.

COMING SOON $789,000

WHEN THE OWNERS PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY, THEY HAD THE PICK OF SCOTT POINT (in the 60s) – AND CHOSE THIS ONE – FOR OBVIOUS REASONS Without doubt, one of the most beautiful and diverse waterfront properties on the island. This 1.58 south-facing property in the Scott Point neighborhood has not been on the market since the 60s. From the driveway meandering through an arbutus and fir grove … to the home’s oceanfront perch and 160 feet of accessible oceanfront, it has a singular quality that is both intimate and private, celebratory and serene. The home is perfectly sited, architecturally interesting and envisioned as only by an artist -- with stunning 180 degree views. Bonuses: a two story artist studio and a lovingly cultivated and fenced garden.

MLS 321227 WEST SIDE 1.22 ACRES: SUN, SCHUBART and SPACIOUS The perfect location for a family, or a retiring couple/single expecting company – and, with this home, your company will be visiting! Beautifully sited 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home, updated kitchen (with eat-in area), den/office, with perfect 180 degree views, gorgeous sun, and complete privacy and serenity.

MLS 321680 $829,000

$1,890,000

DRUMMOND COTTAGE – THE FARM HOUSE RE-VISITED With ocean views from the foot of Fulford Harbour, this new 4 bed, 4 bath home, plus office, 3200+ sf on 3 levels offers a myriad of live-work possibilities (including B&B), and the income and other benefits of 3.24 acres, farm-related outbuilding, and a studio structure.

Great sun, plentiful good water, this home invites a contemporary lifestyle, amid its traditional touches.
