Get away from it all in this gorgeous ocean front retreat. Watch the sunrise over Salt Spring Island from any window.

This house is perfect for couples or families looking to escape the hectic pace of urban life and enjoy life's simple pleasures in rustic luxury. Leave your TV behind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the 1.2 acre property with its terraced gardens, flowering shrubs, fishpond, and benches to enjoy the views. Hike the trails along the coast or into the Stony Mountain Forest Reserve which borders the property. In the evening curl up by the fireplace and catch up on your reading or enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner from your private oceanview table.

Electricity is supplied by state of the art solar power, which is clean, reliable, and easy to use. Newly furnished in a casual country style, this home provides a comfortable setting for your holiday. All rooms have spectacular oceanviews.
Located 3 miles along an unpaved forestry road, this beautiful get-away property ofers privacy and seclusion in the heart of the Cowichan Valley.
