Oceanfront Frank Lloyd Wright Style on 9 Acres

Leave a reply

H ank Schubart (a noted Island architect, he studied with Frank Lloyd Wright, and moved to Salt Spring in the 1960s, from California).

Seals and Sailing dream
A cottage or studio could be built here with a new home at dock level. The current owner had planned to do this.

Olympic Mountain Range

9+ acre property, with luxurious privacy and a gorgeous driveway, winding through your private forest, features coastal forest, plus treasured Arbutus and Garry Oak groves, and with natural meadows, rock mossy outcroppings, seasonal creek, pond, and beauty everywhere.

The property has sweeping 180 degree ocean views all the way to the San Juan islands and the snow capped Olympic Mountains. Just beyond the dock are 2 National Park Reserve islands with their driftwood beaches and forests protected forever.

Gossip Island

Gossip Island is located beside Galiano Island, in the open Georgia Strait, just outside the entrance to Active Pass. Gossip Island is divided into about 45 oceanfront lots, most of which are on a

community water system.
Power and telephone are available on the island. There is a shared dock, and a wildlife preserve in the middle of the island.

Gem of Salt Spring | St Lake Mary, British Columbia

Southern Gulf Island lake front real estate. A gem on special Salt Spring. Truly remarkable Lakefront Destination.

Lake-Mary-British-Columbia

St Lake Mary | British Columbia Real Estate

Currently an attracting family run resort, with nine appealing cottages, this St. Mary Lake acreage, enjoying sunny (s/sw/w exposures) privacy and English Country charm, could expand to 22 cottages.

It would also be possible to develop a strata resort opportunity, here — build out the allowable cottages (zoning for same), sell to individual investors, and when not using themselves, the units would remain in a managed rental pool.

Commercial zonings were designated in 1974, when the provincial government created the Islands Trust. One cannot repeat this waterfront commercial zoning, then. The zoning itself has a value, thus, apart from the real estate or business component.

Perfect for entrepreneurial immigration or a property for a family or corporate retreat. A stellar investment opportunity.

The lake is stocked with fish, too — flyfishing challenges.

Salt Spring Island season of charms

Check out the byline by Peter Vincent in this week’s Driftwood — online version, too. Peter’s comments and concerns are well expressed, as to the power of the Island’s Trust. A thoughtful article. It’s vital that we all bring our reasonable selves to the dialogue of what’s best for the preservation of the Island lifestyle we all treasure so. Don’t overlook this thoughtful and reasoned perspective.
