My Real Estate Office in Salt Spring

1 Reply

My office is in a 1912 restored character building, at the corner of Lower Ganges and Rainbow Roads, in the heart of the seaside Village of Ganges, on Salt Spring Island.

Right across from the Ganges Marina, the Boardwalk, and the marine park area, I get a great Harbour view, and can watch all the boats coming and going to the two Harbour marinas. Some incredible yachts tie up, here!

I have parking behind, off Rainbow Road, with shade trees in case your dog is along, and you’re leaving your pet in your car.

The entrance to my office is on the side of the building, off a spacious deck, and there’s a lovely lawn area there, too…sometimes, my office moves out to the picnic table in the middle of the lawn, especially in the high summer season…so nice!

It’s a relaxed ambiance, with a definite seaside flair, and easy access off the main road…walk ins are welcome!

This is a branch office of the main Whistler based company, and is definitely a Salt Spring Island / Southern Gulf Islands office.

If you find yourself on Salt Spring, please drop in and say hello. Free maps, real estate information, tips on places to go & to enjoy, while you’re on Island…look forward to meeting you!

Beauty and Manor down by the Seashore on Salt Spring Island

Salt Spring Island Real Estate’s finest Seashore properties

Seashore Beauty

Spectacular masterpiece property in two titles! Totally irreplaceable, and located at Salt Spring Island’s special “south end”.

Beautiful West Coast Contemporary jewel, lovingly created by the artist owner (Canada’s renowned wildlife painter, Robert Bateman).

Manor by the Seashore

Manor by the Seashore

The home (designed by H. Schubart, who studied with Frank Lloyd Wright) offers oceanside living & dining, a country kitchen, guest wing, a lovely master/ensuite with superb views, and an incredibly appealing studio/office “wing”. Storage areas, den alcoves (read or ponder life from these “withdrawing spaces“), windows on “coastal forest” scenes or on ocean vistas, plus a separate studio/suite (guest? nanny?)…it allows one to actively pursue both a family life, an entertaining focus, and an artistic enterprise.

Wood floors, expansive windows, skylights…easy access to the crushed shell cove and to the kayak/canoe “boathouse” (a driftwood gem) — many unique aspects, here, that you will enjoy.

Manor by the Seashore

A beautiful oceanfront acreage (4+ acres), offering spectacular ocean / islands / mountain viewscapes! Coastal forest with meadow areas, & a pleasing driveway that meanders through the forest charm, to arrive at the “west coast contemporary” home. Enjoy a lovely walk on beach with warm ocean swimming (sunsets forever!). There is a terrific studio space (artist? home occupation?), with adjacent guest “suite”. The plus? A double garage, at house level, and a separate oversize garage & workshop, positioned along the entrance driveway (perfect for boat storage or for those classic cars!).

… and then there is… this Tuscan Oceanfront which is simply
One of the very best oceanfront parcels, and it could be yours! In the prestigious and beautiful Fruitvale area, this parcel enjoys excellent sun exposure (s/sw/w), plus expansive sand & crushed shell beach, plus has a foreshore licence & geothermal capability (build your own dock, here!).

Excellent water supply. Arable land (once part of an historic farm), enjoy the heirloom orchard, the bountiful veggie garden, the easy care landscaping….the home offers an homage to Tuscan charm, and is sited close to the beach.
