Description

A rare Salt Spring A-frame tucked into a lush, private pocket of forest just minutes from town. This 3-bedroom home blends West Coast character with an established edible and ornamental landscape: over 2,000 sq ft of deer-fenced gardens, 9 fruit trees,10 varieties of native berries, mature rhododendrons, ferns and a seasonal creek. The setting feels both cultivated and wild with forest trails nearby, sunny clearings, and a hot tub tucked among the trees with an ocean glimpse where you can watch the ferries pass. A generous elevated deck expands the living space outdoors, while the home offers warm A-frame charm with high ceilings, wood paneling, and exposed beams. Recent upgrades, including a newer roof, add peace of mind, while two living rooms, a large workshop, greenhouse/garden infrastructure, and additional outbuildings offer space for tools, projects, or creative use. Unmistakably West Coast, this is a property for anyone seeking privacy, character, and a true island lifestyle. (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.
