Vancouver Island is by far the biggest and most-known island off the coast of the Lower Mainland, but it’s actually just one among many, including the Thurlow Islands, the Redonda Islands, Hornby Island, Gabriola Island, and Salt Spring Island. The latter, Salt Spring Island, is one of the Gulf Islands in the Strait of Georgia between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and it’s one of the most populous and scenic of the bunch.
Huge swaths of the island are covered in forests and surrounded by water — and the same can be said for a home now on the market, which sits in the Long Harbour area atOriginally built in 1991, the home boasts 2 beds and 2 baths across 2,744 sq. ft of living space, all atop a 3-acre lot. The property is complete with a detached garage that’s been converted into a beautiful workshop.The home is perched on a cliff’s edge, surrounded by trees upon trees, making it a true escape.
A private driveway leads up the property, which is designed and built like a high-end treehouse home — except that it’s constructed with unique metal walls, instead of just wood.
