Hidden away at the end of a quiet country road, where life slows, lies a property unlike any other on Denman Island. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed, this contemporary 1,754 sq ft Orca-built retreat offers an inspiring vision of modern rural living on 7.2 acres of regenerating forest, surrounded by productive gardens, winding woodland trails, and complete peace and privacy. The primary two A-frame structures were originally designed as one spacious residence and have been temporarily divided to create two independent living spaces, allowing the home to easily adapt as your lifestyle evolves. Whether you envision a family home, creative retreat, multi-generational living, or shared community, the possibilities are remarkably flexible. A third beautifully finished blue A-frame suite sits just far enough away to offer privacy while remaining connected by a shared storage area. Offered fully furnished, it provides excellent flexibility for shared living, guests, rental income, or a private studio. Built in 2021 with longevity in mind, each structure features helical screw foundations, steel stud framing, foam and rock wool insulation, metal siding, and galvanized steel roofing—creating a fire-smart, exceptionally durable, maintenance-free home. Warm natural finishes and oversized windows blur the line between indoors and out, celebrating the surrounding landscape. Beyond the home, productive gardens, establishing fruit trees, a substantial greenhouse, workshop with covered storage, and manicured forest trails create a property that is as functional as it is beautiful. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to support a regenerative lifestyle rooted in beauty, purpose, and connection. Just minutes from sandy beaches and park trails, this is far more than a collection of beautiful buildings—it’s a rare opportunity to create a deeply connected life for generations to come. (id:2493)
