Beautiful country home designed & built by an English family, who lived in Shanghai, in
the 30s, and who retired to Salt Spring Island after World War II. The current owners, who
have upgraded, are only the second owners of this magical estate style property.
Wonderful yellow and red cedar woods, fir and maple, and a casually elegant style,
reminiscent of English Country homes of the 20s and 30s. All of the charm has been
retained by the current owners, who have upgraded the things that matter in the
Twenty-First Century. This is a loved home, and has been described as a "gentleman's
property".
The home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (master ensuite) on the upper level, plus formal living, terrific kitchen that was totally renovated in 2004, cosy library, separate formal dining, plus laundry and guest bath, on main level, and a developed full height basement that offers storage galore. High speed Internet access is available. The property is 10+ acres and may be able to be subdivided, once, if desired. Exposures are south / southwest / west. Property offers forest trails, easy care landscaping, meadow areas, and arable land. One could create pasture and keep horses or sheep here. A wonderful organic garden is developed, plus orchard. You can be self-sufficient here, too! Located in a private & quiet area close to lake, beaches, walking trails, & all amenities. This is truly a unique offering!
