971 Isabella Point Rd, Salt Spring

Set back on a private, mostly level and sunny 8.7 acres, this south-end country house enjoys an atmosphere of tranquility and dramatic ocean views. The well-constructed and thoughtfully designed house allows natural light into all of the living spaces and bedrooms. A wide wrap-around deck under a Mulberry tree connects to dining and living areas. A wood stove in the living room and a recently installed heat pump add simplicity and comfort, while ample storage throughout keeps belongings organized. The attached garage includes a large workshop space with a second wood stove. An exceptional 30-gallon-per-minute well, rich soil and southern sun exposure make this a gardener's dream. The house is surrounded by a beautiful and diverse landscape that includes a garden with fruit trees, accessible mature forest, sunny meadows and a small wetland with a spring-fed pond for summer swimming.
