WHY WINTER / EARLY SPRING IS A GOOD TIME TO LIST YOUR HOME! * The least number of houses are available for buyers to view as many homes are temporarily off the market while the owners are away on winter holidays. * Your home has FAR LESS COMPETITION IN WINTER! * Winter Buyers tend to be “SERIOUS BUYERS”. * It is my belief that the ratio of # showings to offers is far higher in winter than summer.

Perhaps its most unique feature is the attached suite away from it all, a lux bedroom and fitness centre. The wine cellar would please the most discerning of oenophiles, and the chef ready kitchen invites fun filled gatherings. A sandy beach with your own mooring buoy and kayak storage where one can fish, kayak, harvest oysters or spend the day beachcombing. The 4 or 5 bedroom home offers the comfort and seclusion desired for peaceful and intimate gatherings. A Distinctive West Coast Waterfront Lodge | $1,690,000 This is one of the finest homes on Southey Bay. Built to last at least 100 years, it is a craftsman inspired timber framed home, surrounded by gardens and woodlands, on 3.2 acres. Attention to detail was imperative to both owners and builders, evidenced by nautical inspired carpentry detail, exposed timber framed trusses, the stonework and the finishing details.

Sophisticated Style on the Point | $2,950,000 While the owners enjoyed the cottage, they conceived their ultimate home. It has been designed with an intimate understanding and love of the natural environment, and the superb views and sun travel. Encompassing a point of land, they built a 3,648 square foot living space that discerning tastes will appreciate, including floor to ceiling windows, in a contemporary style. Seperate guest cottage, boathouse, deep water dock and mooring bouy make this amongst the most desirable estates on Salt Spring Island.

An Artists Eye | $725,000 An artists soul will appreciate the sound of the waves and the simple way of life that this house reflects. The 4 bedroom home is generous in space and it awaits imagination. The home has a good location and 300+/- ft. of easily accessible waterfront.

Life Along the Canal | $298,000 Can be very rewarding for bird lovers, kayakers, canoeists, swimmers, and all manner of persons who enjoy the life an estuary provides.

In the Heart of Fulford Village | $499,000 Live, work and play at this commercially zoned, waterfront property in funky Fulford Village.

Curve Appeal | $665,000 Boasting aspects of green building and luxurious living, this 2 year old eco-chic home is nestled on nearly 5 private acres. Southern exposure and wired to harness solar energy, geothermal heat pump, and a Heat Recovery Ventilation System are some of the impressive green energy efficient features. Custom designed and carefully planned, this nearly new architecturally unique home offers quality wood floors, Merit kitchen, propane stove, hardy board exterior and conglomerate decks. An additional 1500 sq. ft. workshop, also with heat pump, could be converted to extra living area or studio. A perfect marriage of style and sustainability.

Scene Stealer | $689,000 Enjoy a true crowsnest view of the water, it’s the view that impresses, and yet the surrounding landscape gives it a cozy away from it all feel. This 3310 square foot home has room for the entire family, as well as music, art or meditation rooms, all quietly situated on 7.04 Garry Oak acres. This is a place that is inspired by nature’s handiwork and is well grounded in stone. It’s all about the experience of being one with nature in all its moods.
