About the Property

This stunning private oceanfront retreat on Salt Spring Island spans 7.48 acres, offering a serene escape with 6,090 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, this home exudes both luxury and comfort. Built by renowned local builder Robert Langevin, the property is a masterpiece of contemporary West Coast timber-frame architecture, seamlessly blending traditional Japanese interior design and craftsmanship with high-quality natural woods.

The property overlooks Puget Sound, offering panoramic views of the Gulf Islands and Mt. Baker, and is ideally positioned to capture spectacular sunrises. There is a current dock in place with a deep-water dock in the approval process, adding to the property’s appeal. Recent upgrades totaling $400,000 include a Navien tankless propane hot water system, a 10KW Briggs & Stratton commercial-grade standby generator, and a Renaissance Linear 50 wood-burning fireplace in the great room, equipped with a heat redistribution system. This fireplace quickly warms the space, while a return air duct draws hot air into the furnaces, which run continuously at low speed to redistribute warmth throughout the house. The stone hearth is beautifully finished with Venetian plaster, adding a refined touch to the home.

Inside, the flooring is a unique blend of reclaimed wide-plank Douglas Fir, authentic tatami mats, and natural slate tiles, with radiant floor heating in select areas. The reclaimed Douglas Fir adds character and history to high-traffic areas. In contrast, tatami mats feature in the bedrooms and tea rooms, providing a traditional Japanese aesthetic. This stunning kitchen combines functionality with an elegant, Japanese-inspired design. High-end Shaker-style cabinetry, crafted from vertical grain Douglas Fir, adds a touch of natural warmth and sophistication. The expansive island serves as a perfect centerpiece for both meal prep and entertaining, offering ample space for gatherings. Clean lines, minimalist details, and soft lighting create a peaceful ambiance, making this kitchen an inviting retreat for any chef or entertainer.

Heating is provided primarily by two high-efficiency propane furnaces, with radiant floor heating in the bathhouse and second-floor bathrooms. Fresh air ventilation is prioritized through furnaces with DC variable speed blowers, ensuring a comfortable environment throughout the home. The property also benefits from a 400 AMP electrical service.

This extraordinary estate combines the tranquility of Salt Spring Island living with luxurious, well-appointed features, making it an ideal sanctuary for those seeking a private oceanfront lifestyle.
