Appealing rural 2.76 acres, very sunny property, close to nearby beach access, and walkable to both the Long Harbour ferry terminal (to Vancouver) and to Ganges Village.

Heirloom fruit trees, here (this parcel was part of the very large Scott farm, called Fruitvale, in the early part of the 20th Century, when the apples for all of B.C. were grown on Salt Spring Island and on Mayne Island). The barn is perhaps 112 years old, and remains a stalwart structure.

The home, which was built at some point in the early to mid-80s, before Salt Spring’s building inspection office was in place, does not follow a predictable plan. What is in place is, again, stalwart construction, and current owners have completed some rooms (bedrooms). The large greenhouse structure in the original design was not completed.

This is a dramatic design, and, with some continued TLC, it would make a castle like experience for the right buyer. The land is beautiful, has an arable quality, and needs a creative eye to see its huge potential.

Excellent location, in an area of fine homes. Totally deerfenced, so is easy to see the boundary lines. Don’t overlook this gem!
