99 Garner Road, Salt Spring Island
$579,000
Architect designed, this private retreat has an inspired overlapping hexagonal grid pattern with passive solar qualities. The care in siting along with the double-walled construction, high insulation levels, thermo windows, continuous vapour barrier and air-to-air heat exchanger with a Yotul8 woodstove augmenting the baseboard heat make this a very efficient home. Originally part of the old 'Kitchen' farm; a barn and 3 producing apple trees still remain. Sited privately at the end of a winding driveway, the property is half open fertile field with split-rail cedar fencing and half forested cedar glad and ravine bordered by Ford Creek. Note the solid oak flooring and trim; wood doors; deep oak sills and two level atrium entry. You will be charmed by the covered porch with a skylight. French doors open to the deck and jasmine and grape-covered pergola. The attached workshop is a perfect artist's studio. One level living is possible here with guest rooms upstairs or two levels would suit a family well. Abundant well, new hot water tank and new septic field in 2008.
