Description

Step into a fairy tale home with two detached studios, tucked away in a peaceful and private setting just minutes from the heart of Ganges, this enchanting .71-acre property feels as though it has been lifted from the pages of a fairy tale. Surrounded by towering grand firs, mature plantings, fruit trees, stone pathways, abundant bird song, and neighbouring Mouat Park, the property offers a magical sense of seclusion while remaining wonderfully close to town, shops, restaurants, and island amenities. The charming two-bedroom home features a welcoming living room addition and delightful details, including heart-cut shutters that perfectly complement the whimsical woodland atmosphere. Generous decking creates inviting outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the surrounding gardens. It is serviced by a septic system replaced in 2020. Set apart from the main residence are two additional structures that add to the property’s unique appeal. A cozy studio provides flexible space for creative pursuits, a home office, or a peaceful retreat, while the charming cabin has been recently updated and offers a fresh, comfortable space with endless possibilities. Each building enjoys its own deck, allowing the entire property to feel connected to the surrounding landscape while still offering a sense of privacy and separation. Wander along stone pathways beneath the trees, tend to the fenced garden, enjoy fruit from your own trees, or simply sit outside and listen to the birds. The mature landscape and woodland surroundings create a tranquil, storybook atmosphere that feels worlds away, yet the conveniences of Ganges is only a short distance from your door. Rarely does a property combine such a magical, fairy tale-like setting with this level of privacy and such easy access to town. Peaceful, charming, and full of character, this special Salt Spring Island retreat invites you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy a truly enchanting way of life. (id:63159)

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
