This Tranquil West Coast Haven Awaits On Salt Spring Island

There’s something undeniably captivating about Salt Spring Island.

Known for its lush landscapes, artistic communities, and sweeping coastal views, it’s a destination that embodies both luxury and a deep connection to (and respect for) nature.

Now, a rare gem in the heart of the island is on the market: BrightWoods Estate, a meticulously crafted 6,090-square-foot retreat that harmonizes West Coast elegance with the serenity of its forested surroundings.

Built by esteemed Salt Spring Islander Robert Langevin, the estate — located at 250 Holmes Road — is a contemporary timber-frame masterpiece, incorporating rich natural woods throughout. Reclaimed wide-plank Douglas Fir floors and natural slate — complemented by radiant heating — set the tone for warmth and refinement, while custom yellow cedar millwork brings a sense of artisanal craftsmanship to every corner.

Inside, the home is designed for both comfort and ultimate class. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, featuring shaker-style vertical grain Douglas Fir cabinetry in a thoughtful nod to the surrounding old-growth forests. Each of the four bedrooms is generously sized, with walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, creating a true sanctuary for everyone at home.

Beyond the home’s walls, nature takes centre stage. Sweeping views of Puget Sound, the Gulf Islands, and Mount Baker provide an ever-changing canvas of breathtaking sunrises, while Japanese gardens, a serene gazebo, and a spring-fed pond add an undeniable sense of peace.

Towering trees line private walking trails, reinforcing the property’s sense of seclusion and tranquility.

Our Favourite Thing

Salt Spring Island is renowned for its natural beauty, but few properties offer such a seamless blend of luxury and tranquility. From the meticulously designed Japanese gardens to the breathtaking panoramas, BrightWoods Estate is a retreat in every sense of the word — one that celebrates both the splendour of its West Coast surroundings and the artistry of its construction.

While BrightWoods Estate is undeniably a place to unplug and unwind, it’s also fully equipped with modern conveniences. A $400,000 investment in upgrades includes a Navien tankless hot water system, a 10KW commercial-grade generator, and a Renaissance Linear 50 wood-burning fireplace with heat redistribution, ensuring that warmth and comfort are never compromised. A deep-water dock is also in the approval process, adding even more functionality (and just plain "fun") to this private retreat.

For those looking to experience West Coast luxury (without the constraints of foreign buyer restrictions), BrightWoods Estate beckons.
