Maracaibo has been an integral part of Salt Spring since its inception in the mid-1960s. As a bare land strata, it offers both a free-hold option (you own your land outright, just as in any other part of B.C.) and a companies act opportunity…as a member of the Maracaibo Association, you benefit with a share in all the wonderful amenities: approximately nine miles of walking/hiking trails, several beautiful bays and coves, just for the use of the members, cottages for overflow guests, a salt water swimming lagoon, tennis courts, docks for your yachts, and also a dinghy dock in a different area…with an environmental stance that I think could have been the blueprint for the Islands Trust, a good ten years later, this is like living in a private park. With the option to open up some further properties, with agreement from the Members, this brings forward an investment opportunity to ownership in Maracaibo.

Mere minutes back to all of Salt Spring’s services/amenities, in Ganges Villages, and yet wonderfully “apart”, and serenely itself. For more details on Maracaibo itself, check out the new website created to inform about this wonderful aspect of a lifestyle on Salt Spring Island ( www.maracaibo.ca)…more information about this waterfront property?

Vendor’s Comments:

Background to Blennerhassett Equestrian Center

1. Lesley and Michael Colgan and their two adult daughters Megan and Tamara have owned and ridden more than 50 horses since 1988. We were competitive hunter-jumper riders in California before coming to Canada and opening Blennerhasset Equestrian Center on Salt Spring Island in 2005. We have had wide experience with premier riding facilities, including Spruce Meadows in Canada, and Rancho Santa Fe and Del Mar in California. We have constructed and managed stables in California for our horses. We have a family history with Connemara horses in Ireland, as part of the Blennerhassett family.

2. There are ten essential segments to a first-class equestrian center and stud:

(1) a full size indoor arena

(2) a full size outdoor arena

(3) a round pen

(4) a training ring

(5) turn-out paddocks

(6) a cross-country course

(7) a full size hay barn

(8) a grain barn

(9) horse accommodation barns

(10) a stallion barn and turn-out.

The Blennerhasset Equestrian Center was developed in 2005-2006 to include these 10 segments to a very high standard, at a cost of $6,170,000.00 (including $2,975000.00 for the land purchase). It was built with a view to becoming part of the Canadian competitive circuit.

3. We maintain computerized records of this investment. It incorporates two horse barns with breeding facilities and accommodation for 14 horses, 12 shed rows, which are partially open shelters for horses, including fenced turn-outs, sufficient to board 24 horses, and a stallion barn, a training ring, workers cottages, offices, and a 60 seat-conference room and service kitchen. Capacity is 65 horses.

4. We developed the property so that it could be run as an organic farm, using no fertilizers, and harvesting our own hay. We developed a compost facility to recycle the horse waste, and use only that compost on the facility.

5. We obtained a British Columbia Environmental Farm Plan completion certificate in January 2006. Unlike numerous regional facilities, we have had no outbreaks of illness among our own horses or our 30-40 boarded horses. From 2005 to the present, largely because of a clean facility, devoid of synthetic chemicals, and constant attention to veterinary services, we have bred champion purebred Connemara horses without any failures or difficulties. We have bred 16 horses since 2005, including a Canadian Connemara Stallion, and we won the Canadian Champion Mare in 2007.

See Li for the details on this beautiful area — close to all amenities, and just like one’s own “private island”!

The custom designed & built authentic log home offers many appealing & dramatic features. Enjoying panoramic ocean & islands viewscapes, it is a true “natural” retreat.

The property is a totally private 2.71 acres, & offers a coastal forest preserve at your doorstep (large, private park reserve is your neighbour — watch the deer and the eagles. Whales and seals go by at oceanside!).

Property enjoys shared access to year round docks, tennis, miles of walking trails, & private beaches. Maracaibo is like ownership in a private park — see Li for the details, here! One owns one’s private property, freehold, and there is a companies act aspect to the shared ownership — the best of both worlds! Created by Bob Hassell, a noted Salt Spring architect of the coastal design ethic, this wonderful bare land strata development captures the best features of the Islands Trust’s “preserve & protect” mandate, and actually predates the Trust.

Located close to all amenities, yet like living in your own private park – the best !

Vendors comments:

This is an handcrafted – not milled – cedar log home made of dry Okanogan cedar logs grown in the extremely dry area of the Caribou area of B.C. These trees grow slowly to become extremely strong with little water content. After construction this type of log experiences dramatically less shrinkage than other types of logs [only 1/4" for every 9 vertical feet], and the logs in. This home consequently show little checking [cracking].  While the largest logs are 20″ in diameter, the average diameter is 13″ito14″, Cedar is the most expensive of the 4 types of logs used for log home construction [pine, spruce, Douglas fir, western red cedar], and is known for its resistance to both disease and parasites and for its longevity. The method of construction was Scandinavian Cope which uses no mortar [chinking] between logs. Any exterior trim or siding is of custom milled yellow cedar.

It is very unique that the interior finishing of this home is the actual wood logs. There is no planking, and gyprock is found only in small amounts in the garage and lower level work room. Stairs and railings are of Douglas fir. Partitions and closets are of clear cut spruce, block paneling is of red oak, and lower level finishing is of pine. There are 30 solid core Douglas fir doors. The main entry door is of Ash. Sun Room door to sun deck is commercial aluminium, and the lowest level exit door is ha1f cedar and half pine. Floors are a combination of glazed tile [in Entrance, Dining Area, Kitchen and entry level hall], wall to wall carpeting, and tile in bathrooms.

The 2 main bathrooms are fitted with custom marble showers and vanities. There is a custom marble tub in Master ensuite and the extra large marble shower in Master ensuite has built in seating bench The Kitchen has granite countertops, Oak custom cupboards, triple sink, wall oven, countertop range, dishwasher, and built in microwave. Bedrooms are fitted with extra deep double cupboards with wide swing-open doors.

Many of the entry level ceilings are vaulted – the Living Room ceiling soars to 21′. Skylights are found throughout – 6 in the Living Room, 1 in the Foyer, 1 and 1 in the Master Bedroom. Ceiling fans are placed throughout the home. The Airtight wood stove in the Living Room is a great supplement to home comfort within the thermal mass of the large logs. Electric heating costs are surprisingly low for an home of this size.

The Living Room and Sun Room on the main level of the home are 4′ below the remainder of that level. These sunken rooms are reached by wide open Douglas fir stairs. The dining area peninsula dramatically extends out into the Living Room area. There is a wired in alarm system.

Wow! Opportunity! The perfect Salt Spring lifestyle choice: 11+ acres of pastoral charm, with log style home, plus rental mobile, AND a water business!

This is the spring that delivers pure water — take over the water delivery business or lease out!

Home offers main level dramatic open plan living/dining, superb cook’s dream kitchen, feature stone fireplace, a “green” design ethic, library/den, separate laundry, mudroom entry plus formal entry/foyer. Loft office space enjoys the same dramatic views as the living spaces! Master ensuite (steam shower!), plus two guest beds/bath, and family room on lower (garden) level. Patio areas, plus oceanview decking (to expand summer living pleasures), with custom windows that “disappear” to allow that seamless blending of inside/outside. Double garage, plus double carport. Easy care “natural” landscaping! Hot tub with a view.
