With locations from village centre to off the grid, and prices from starter homes to luxury estates, there is something for everyone. Salt Spring Island is inclusive and caring, and welcomes all to share the beauty of this place. by Gail Neumann Island Living... Mountains, forests, and meadows form a secluded world within reach of BC’s greatest cities, but separated by time and tide. Deep in the mists, artists make their homes while scores of studios and galleries dot the Island. Whether raising families or retiring from the rush of professional careers, these entrepreneurs display creativity, courage and tenacity. The rewards for this lifestyle are multitude; including life amid spectacular nature, a self-directed agenda, a quiet rural lifestyle, talented and friendly neighbours, and world-class opportunities. photo courtesy of Sotheby’s
