The Wetherly on Salt Spring Island is an exceptional 30 acre estate of absolute privacy and outstanding natural beauty.
When the owners purchased this secluded parcel over 1/4 century ago, they sought to preserve the tucked away, tranquil nature of the landscape while building a legacy estate to share with family, friends and visitors alike. A place designed to encourage connection with nature while providing inviting opportunities to gather. A key emphasis in the design phase was put on how the main home and out buildings interact with each other and their individual surroundings. The property is orchestrated around extended family recreation with indoor/outdoor spaces presenting ample opportunities for relaxation and play among the spa, social house and inground swimming pool. During the day as you approach the property it sits in reverence to the landscape. At night when it’s all lit up, you get a dramatically different perspective. A simply outstanding offering - like no other!More details
