This sweet south-east facing 5 acre refuge in Salt Spring's iconic south end offers a sense of serenity, unusual peace, true quiet and privacy. The one bedroom, one bathroom home, built from the wood of firs and cedars harvested from the property, was constructed with sustainable building in mind and using passive solar energy sources, and continues to benefit from that philosophy. With its enviable sun exposure, the home is surrounded by a lovely patio area and gorgeous fenced gardens, which are approximately a quarter of an acre, and include fruit and nut trees, black currant bushes, vegetable beds. The interior can only be described as cozy, enveloping, and comfortable, perhaps as genuinely reflective of the island's south end character as any home can be. There's an RV site, connected to hydro, on the lower portion of the property; zoning allows both a main house and cottage.
