With genuine warmth and charm, this nearly 1,200 square foot, bright log home embraces a Utopian spirit and is located in the North End of Salt Spring Island, perched on its own 3.4 serene and forested acres. The updated elements blend well with the original rustic feel, resulting in a contemporary and character-rich open-concept space with versatile areas for a multitude of uses. The interior and exterior features, such as, the metal roof, cedar shake siding, an updated septic system, multiple storage/utility sheds, vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, a robust woodstove, great lighting, beautiful bathrooms and ocean views from the upper-floor complete this sweet, island package. The land is gently sloped with large natural plateaus, established gardens, both with a great sense of privacy from existing fencing and the naturally treed perimeter.  Not enough space? Not a problem as the zoning and large property size allow for the construction of a detached guest cottage.
