At the end of a quiet country road on Denman Island sits a contemporary retreat built around regenerative living. Set on 7.2 acres of forest, the Orca-built A-frame homes are positioned for both connection and privacy. The main 2-bed, 2-bath home is currently divided into two living spaces, and a fully furnished suite adds flexibility and income potential. Built in 2021 on screw foundations with steel stud framing, metal siding and galvanized steel roofs, these homes are durable and low maintenance. Each is warmed by its own wood stove, with baseboard backup heating, 200-amp service and fast CityWest internet. The land has been shaped with care. The forest was professionally assessed, and an extensive trail network and small controlled burns have reduced fire risk and made all seven acres accessible to wander. New salal and young firs are already returning. Bears and cougars are extremely rare on Denman, so the forest is a place to walk without worry. The gardens are a food lover’s dream. There are ten apple varieties, four pears, plums, sour cherries, figs and chestnuts. Berries include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, currants, marionberries, loganberries, jostaberries and thornless blackberries. There are also grapes and established asparagus beds. A 20' x 20' greenhouse has drip irrigation, and terraced vegetable beds are watered on a timer. More than a dozen rose varieties grow alongside mature perennial borders, and a predator-proofed pen is ready for chickens. There’s not a blade of lawn to mow. Water comes from a 212-ft well producing 4 GPM that has never run dry. It is supplemented by rainwater collection into 5,500 gallons of cistern storage. Morning coffee and evening wine on the brick patio by the greenhouse, beaches and park trails minutes away. This is a place to grow, create and live an intentional island life for generations to come. Call the listing realtor today for more information or to book a time to go by for a look. (id:67648)
