Like No Other
An Island renowned for its creativity, Salt Spring is the jewel of the Southern Gulf Islands, nestled between British Columbia’s mainland southern coast and Vancouver Island.
Salt Spring Island boasts all the ingredients of sophisticated country living, along with over 133 kilometers of pristine shoreline, breathtaking vistas and sensational sunsets.
It’s easy to get here and away from it all, with three ferry terminals conveniently servicing Salt Spring from mainland Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Once aboard the ferry, you slip into island time on a leisurely and scenic cruise through coastal passageways. If you’re in a hurry to relax, jump on a seaplane from Vancouver and be here in less than 20 minutes.
The Southern Gulf Islands are Canada’s superlative cruising grounds - one of the best in the entire world. From kayaks to mega-yachts, it’s no wonder Salt Spring Island is such a sought after place to live.
We invite you to browse this collection and explore all that Salt Spring has to offer.

160 WILKIE WAY
Prominently positioned above the seaside town of Ganges, Cairn Garroch
thrills from the moment you catch its site on the way up the mountainside.

The house enjoys a rarely afforded perspective with epic panoramas stretch-
ing for miles, the horizon changing character by the hour. This connection
to the exterior is vital to every area within Cairn Garroch and with so many
sculptural forms presiding, a sense of harmony between art and nature is
palpable throughout this fine residence.

This property enjoys a long winding lane past fenced pas-

sphere, and the three-stall barn is critter friendly. Forested

all the right ways!

12 FOREST TRAIL, SECRET ISLAND
The simplicity of Secret Island promotes relaxation on a deep level. Just 15 minutes
by boat from Ganges Village, it seems a place that time forgot. Days here are spent
gazing over the ocean, barbecuing with friends, reading and snoozing in the Sun.
Fresh, simple and luminous, the architectural southwest facing cottage epitomizes
comfortable, coast sensitive design. Equipped with current solar technology, off-
grid living has never been more comfortable. A private and magical hideaway, get-
ting away from the world ban be a snap. If you know where to go.
