On Maple Mountain, this property looks over the Gulf Islands mountain ranges on the mainland. Below the house is Crofton harbour with a ferry to Saltspring Island. The mild climate has hot, dry summers and warm wet winters. The house is on a quiet street backed by the municipal forest.
The house is engineer-designed and earthquake-proofed. The living room has a cathedral ceiling and all picture windows looking out over a harbour. The wrap around deck, with a hot tub, is ideal for meals and entertaining. The house is on one level and wheelchair accessible throughout.
The large heated basement contains the water purification system and the heat pump for heating and air-conditioning. Recent changes include the outside painted, new carpets, a new counter top stove and oven, a new ultra-violet water processor and hot water tank, a new walkway that extends right around the house and well pipe.
