How interesting that the ship "World" chose to make special Salt Spring Island one of its global ports of call. Last week it was in Seattle. This week: Salt Spring. An event, indeed, and shows that we are well and truly on the "international map".
Post internet, geography and time have both been erased. All secondary home/discretionary areas are suddenly of equal weight/equal value. Why choose one over another?
Salt Spring Island and the Southern Gulf Islands swim enticingly in Georgia Strait, and enjoy a microclimate called "cool Mediterranean". Vineyards and olive groves flourish, plants and trees that grow in California also grow here, and there are more hours of sunshine year round than in other areas of the Pacific Northwest Coast.
Close to Vancouver, to Victoria, and to Seattle, with easy ferry and floatplane access, and yet with a wonderful sense of "apartness", the Islands offer the rural ambiance of yesteryear combined with the immediacy of the 21st Century's digital world.
Growth is capped, via strict zoning/density controls, as the Islands are governed by a provincial government body known as the Islands Trust.
In place since 1974, the Trust's mandate is "to preserve and protect", for the benefit of all B.C. residents, the environmental and ecological beauties of the Gulf Islands.
More information? Interested in viewing properties? Please call, and ask for "Li's list".
With access to all listings, from all companies, I look forward to showing you "your" special Island property.
In the heart of the best protected boating waters in the world, Salt Spring Island and the Southern Gulf Islands, await your pleasure.
