A Salt Spring Home for an Island Retreat

Description

This architect designed "cedar and glass" 1800 sq ft home rests on 7 acres with ocean and forest views. It is situated on a 530 acre park-like peninsula with 15 km of trails along rocky bluffs, beaches, through woodlands and rainforest. Salt Spring Island combines a rural retreat with access to Victoria (by ferry) and Vancouver (by ferry or float plane), as well as access to prime wilderness in the Province of British Columbia. Numerous activities are available on the island, including a 9-hole golf course, numerous artist studios, swimming (ocean and fresh water lakes), hiking and boating. There is a good library, a vibrant town centre, a community centre and an active arts scene in the town of Ganges, the jewel of the Canadian Gulf Islands. For a temporary Maracaibo Estates membership fee, guests can enjoy the use of tennis courts, a salt water swimming lagoon, a marina with kayaking, paddle boarding and laser sailing.
