Description
Harbour Farm is one of Ganges' original farms: 17.46 acres held across three separate titles and now offered together for the first time. Rising above Ganges Harbour beside the celebrated Hastings House estate, it offers something Salt Spring can no longer create — a genuine working farm where the village's shops, marina and galleries are still a short stroll away. The land itself tells the story. Sun-washed hayfields and fenced pasture roll up from the village edge, while greenhouses and planting plots anchor the western fields. A pond, mature forest and rocky outcrops frame the rest. From the upper elevations, ocean, harbour and island views open in every direction, with building sites to capture them. At the heart of the offering is the 12.06-acre farm at 151 Upper Ganges Road, with greenhouses and planting plots on its western side. 203 Howell Lane adds 4.63 treed acres with a small cleared section, while 265 Lower Ganges Road contributes 0.77 acres of R6-zoned residential land outside the ALR. This parcel carries the three-bed, two-bath main residence and provides the estate's main access, with a second entrance from Upper Ganges Road. Accommodation extends well beyond the main home. Two bunkhouse cabins are joined by a third housing a four-piece bathroom, while a workshop cabin and a covered outdoor kitchen and laundry keep the property ready for extended family, farm help or agritourism. Services are already in place, including municipal water supplemented by established wells, septic, and farm-class taxes on the main parcel. Holding three separate titles gives a buyer flexibility no single-lot estate can match: occupy, farm, lease or hold, with future options kept open by the non-ALR parcel. Village-adjacent acreages of this scale, with these views, cannot be assembled again on Salt Spring. Come walk the land and you will understand why it is called Harbour Farm. (id:63159)
