Tucked into five sun-drenched acres of meadows, forest trails, and enchanting gardens, this beautifully renovated country property captures the essence of Salt Spring living. Filled with natural light and thoughtfully arranged over 3,178 sq. ft., the home offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, a home-based business, guest accommodation, or creative pursuits. Extensive upgrades have transformed the residence, including a stunning chef-inspired kitchen with quartz countertops and induction cooking, elegant new bathrooms, oak flooring throughout, a custom walk-in closet, sunken office, rebuilt garden-view deck, and a fully renovated upper-level three-bedroom suite. Gentle south-facing land invites exploration, relaxation, and connection with nature, while durable metal roofing on both the home and outbuilding ensures peace of mind. Private and peaceful, yet just minutes from town, this is a property that feels a world away while remaining close to everything that matters.
