Denman Island Treasure

Denman Island Treasure

A dream awaits you! 12 acres of sunny tranquility and privacy, just for you, on serene Denman Island. The property enjoys some forest areas, plus easy care and creative landscaping around the home. South/southwest/west exposures ensure year round/all day sun, and extensive patio areas expand summer living pleasures. Fronting on a marsh, a bird sanctuary, the “lake” here allows for canoeing the bends in the marsh…a very pleasing past-time.

The home is new, and you have time to choose finishes, here! Radiant infloor heat, custom bathroom fixtures (you’ll love the shower and the tub in the master ensuite!), open plan kitchen/dining (top of the line appliances), custom built-in cabinetry for storage, pantry, dramatic living with vaulted ceiling, stairs from the formal entry/foyer to the master “suite”, and stairs from the family room to the children’s “wing”. A climbing wall feature from the family room, plus a terrific work-out exercise space.

This space has to be seen to be appreciated…

Easy access to the patio areas/barbecue space, from all principal rooms. This home could be featured in Dwell Magazine, and offers that clean-lined simplicity of the best of “west coast contemporary” Zen/Scandanavian influenced design. European windows, doors, everything chosen of very fine quality. The final finishing choices can be yours!

An amazing “shop” on the property, separately sited from the home. It holds a state of the art fully computerized woodworking business, at the moment. If desired, a buyer could offer on the equipment as well. The owner is a custom cabinet designer/creator, and his work is found in the very best homes on the Lower Mainland/in Whistler. He is able to work from home, on Denman. This space has to be seen to be appreciated…

…the word “shop” does not describe it, at all.

Burgoyne Bay

Salt Spring Island’s real estate speaks for itself (as does its beauty). The natural parks and landscape of the Island are what make the island so attractive for second and third home buyers—even in a market like today’s.

Burgoyne Bay Provincial Park

Burgoyne Bay Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada located on southwestern Saltspring Island near Fulford Harbour and facing northwest to Sansum Narrows, which is the channel between Saltspring and Vancouver Island. It is 334 hectares in size and was established via private land acquisition. Mount Maxwell Provincial Park lies adjacent, to the north. Burgoyne Bay was named in 1859 by Captain Richards for Commander Hugh Talbot Burgoyne VC, an officer aboard HMS Ganges.

Burgoyne Bay was a First Nation gathering place.

There is much spiritual and cultural significance connected to this land, including the creation story of the Hul’qumi’num people.

From the more recent past, there are various old and historic farm buildings in the park which are currently being restored.

I have been a member of LuxuryRealEstate.com since 1996, when the owner of this company invited my participation, and profile many of my high end listings both on their website and also in ads in their quarterly print magazine. Although some real estate companies are represented on this site, I have been welcomed as a top producing individual, in this very specific market category (luxury real estate), since 1996.

In 2007 I was invited to attend a major conference, in Vancouver/Whistler, and this was a very productive venue in which to showcase my area & my listings. The same opportunity was available to me, in a U.S. venue, in April, 2008. The attendees were from all over the world.

In the Fall of 2007, I accepted an invitation to join LuxuryRealEstate.com’s Board of Regents. This is an exclusive group of currently 82 agents neutrally selected from North America & Europe. There can only be one Regent in a market area. This honour allows me to be counted among the world’s leading real estate professionals, and as an individual realtor, not just as a company logo.
