The Musgrave Estate is a supremely unique assemblage of four land titles spanning 232 acres on Salt Spring Island. The current owners seek a buyer intent on operating as a steward of the land, conserving its natural and historic character.

The only stretch of flat, open land on the island’s relatively undeveloped southwest corner, the property features roughly 5,955 feet of oceanfront, making it one of the most desirable areas Salt Spring Island has to offer. Central to this shoreline, is a protected bay with a pristine beach, two docks and boathouse. The property faces west across Sansum Narrows toward Cowichan Bay and Vancouver Island with eight 19th and 20th century abodes complementing open fields, Cedar and Douglas fir forests, and a year-round creek.

The surrounding fields have been identified by local viticulturists as having perhaps the best vineyard potential in the region. Here, sun exposure, soil fertility, and steady westerly breezes provide optimal growing conditions for a variety of grapes.

Designed by Chicago Architect David Adler and set back from the water’s edge for privacy, the 3,558 square foot, six-bedroom, four-bathroom main house, built circa 1941, surrounds a generous courtyard. The covered porch front entry overlooking the ocean and tennis court is a gathering place that sets the tone of the house and property. A grand fireplace punctuates the vaulted ceiling living/great room, while formal gardens and a Timothy hay field slope gently to the shore and the hidden beach. Here, the kitchen area has sustained water damage, with the owners opting to allow the buyers to complete a remodel to their own specifications.

High on a bluff with commanding ocean views sits the cedar-sided farmhouse. Built circa 1985, the lofted home counts two bedrooms, a single bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room with vaulted ceiling, and fireplace. A covered porch has views of fields, a beautiful old barn, and the ocean through the trees.

The 3,855 square foot caretaker’s house, a two-story, five-bedroom, two-bathroom residence was built circa 1912 with a large utility room workshop added later. A large deck at the front opens into a grand hall with a wide stairway leading to the second floor with five generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom. The main floor has a kitchen with views of the farm entry and fields beyond. The living and dining rooms both feature ocean views.

Tucked away in the forest is the quaint 624 square foot creek side guest cottage with two bedrooms, a sitting room, and bathroom. It is a favorite spot for owners and guests seeking solitude and a great night’s sleep. This building is currently untenable due to the collapse of a fir tree through the roof. Repairs were planned along with the main house kitchen remodel.

Constructed circa 1992 with an addition in 1999, the two-story cedar house has an open kitchen, living and dining room, two bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor, plus two small bedrooms in addition to an unfinished basement. Its sun-drenched deck also boasts a private outdoor shower.

Erected circa 1996, the charming 432 square foot forest cabin sits quietly in the woods featuring an open area with kitchen, a two-piece bathroom, and a sleeping loft.

The waterfront cedar pan-abode house was built circa 1972, has a sunken living room with bar, kitchen, dining area, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, laundry, and a large deck overlooking the lawn and the water. A private dock and beautiful pebble beach complete this stunning retreat.

About 200 square feet in size, an enclave wrapped around a giant Douglas fir was the first tree house built by Pete Nelson of Nelson Treehouse and of the Discovery Channel’s Treehouse Masters series.

Residents also enjoy a small greenhouse, a tool shed, truck garage, tractor shed, barn, chicken house, horse shelter, boat barn, utility shed, garden shed, several orchards, and a beautiful fenced vegetable garden.
