About this home

Privately situated on nearly 2 acres, this utterly charming, handcrafted home and workshop offers a rare retreat just outside of Ganges on Salt Spring Island. Lovingly built, the inviting inside offers exceptional character with original fir floors, crown moldings, multiple built-ins, mullion windows, decorative sills, French doors, custom stained glass, rounded door frames and a darling woodstove. No shortage of outside seating here with both a sundeck and garden patio, perfect for enjoying the natural gently rolling property and private setting. The equally pleasing detached workshop is ideal for woodworking, general hobbies, a separated workspace and storage as well as a connected carport for covered parking.
