Investment opportunities on Salt Spring Island!

Sep 28, 2012 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Looking for an investment property? There are several opportunities on Salt Spring Island & the Gulf Islands...some with valuable commercial zoning in place, some with duplex zoning for future development, some in areas that may allow for subdivision. Some would be resort based businesses, others a key B&B offering, ready to go, & what about an award winning vineyard? Or an equestrian property/business? Investment is a word that covers a lot of ground, & there are significant choices here, at interesting & approachable prices, with motivated sellers at hand & low interest rates available, if financing. From 250,000 to 15,000 million...and all of them of interest to a serious investor buyer or group. The Islands Trust controls growth on Salt Spring & the Gulf Islands, and has done so since 1974, through strict zoning/density bylaws. This means there are many unique zonings, which cannot be replicated...a special zoning, then, has a value beyond the business that might be in place right now. The Islands Trust is a government body, in place since 1974, with a mandate "to preserve & protect" the environmental beauties of the Gulf Islands, for the benefit of all B.C. residents. Hmmm...unique & irreplaceable zonings...hmmm.... Call me, & discover your opportunities!liread33@gmail.com

The First Week of Fall

Sep 27, 2012 — Dennis Hanlon, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

Fall officially arrived Saturday morning with fall weather quickly following on Sunday. A cool northern storm system started moving in Sunday with clouds, rain and cooler temperatures. Followed on Monday by more rain and high elevation snow. While you may think that September is awfully early for snow, here in the high country it's quite common. And actually, very unusual to not have any snow here in September. It's very good news and comforting in that this is the second storm system in a couple of weeks. Hopefully an indication of a wet and snowy winter. The colors continue to be amazing and now the aspens are turning very quickly. Each day brings larger splotches of yellow up on the mountain. This really is a magical time of the year and if you've never seen fall in the mountains you're missing a spectacular season.

The Hills are on Fire

Sep 27, 2012 — Dennis Hanlon, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

The hills are on fire both literally and figuratively. Figuratively, the Mountain Maples are absolutely brilliant. The maples are at the peak of their color and the aspens are just beginning to turn. Mind you, this is all two to three weeks early and is most likely a result of the very dry spring and summer. But right now it seems every day is prettier than the previous day.

A Salt Springer is? Well.....

Sep 25, 2012 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

What does it mean to be a Salt Springer? Probably as many definitions as islanders. Yes, yes...I've heard the one about an argument surrounded by water. Of course, it does help to have an opinion, before joining the coffee group at Barb's or TJ Beans or Rock Salt or Penny's. The Island is often described as a healing space. A hike through Ruckle Park or down to Burgoyne Bay or up to Mt Maxwell supports this theory...there is an energizing rhythm to this natural vista we call home. The 10K diet, the organic revolution, is alive and well on Salt Spring. What I notice, though, is what lies behind all the surface furors that erupt from time to time. There is an underlying caring community here. Think of the house fire and the community that steps to the plate with immediate aid for the afflicted family, often complete strangers. Think of the amazing volunteers that step forward with personal caring commitment & fundraisers, for so many worthy causes. Think of the welcoming response to those in need, whether economically or as the result of a sudden health issue interruption...again, often for complete strangers. My image of the island is that of an ocean windstorm...lots of chop & change on the surface, individual waves sloshing into others, diverse thought encountering other diverse thought, and yet, if one drops down like a diver, it is serene & united. A community that cares? I think so. Yes, scenic beauty. Yes, an alluring yesteryear experience with proximity to major centres. Yes, an artistic economic basis with all the interesting outcomes that implies. And yes, a thoughtful and caring individual ethic that encompasses all islanders and their welfare...now that is special! More information about Salt Spring Island & its Islanders? Call me!
