A BOUNTIFUL CLIFF-TOP
RETREAT Designed
in 1998 by noted Blue Sky architect Michael McNamara, this original dwelling is
backed by forest and looks across Georgia Strait at Vancouver Island's mountains.
We have one of Hornby Island's most peaceful yet breathtaking views. |
| Our home
has an arching sod roof, 14 ceilings, floor-to ceiling windows and a 48-long
wrap-around deck. Two intimate 20 x 12 rooms, plus an open 12
x 10 loft/study provide three sleeping areas. Each has a double futon, providing
beds for up to 6 people.
The main (20
x 12) living space has a fully-equipped modern galley kitchen and dining
area and a full bathroom with an oversized tiled shower. Water is chlorine-free
and UV-filtered. Its futon couch converts easily into a double bed. A stair-ladder
leads to the sleeping loft above.
|
|
| The second 20 x
12 room, with separate outside entrance, provides a completely private sleeping/lounging/living
space, with high, wide views of the forest on three sides; patio doors open onto
the deck. | |
A washer/dryer is provided, as are linens, blankets, towels
and allergy-free pillows. As well, wireless internet, a stereo, DVD player and
VCR are provided, along with an extensive collection of books, videos, CDs and
games.
| | | We are minutes away
from three superb beaches, Helliwell Park, hiking trails, tennis courts, markets
and shopping, a pub, cafés and restaurants, as well as community events:
Farmers Market, festivals, concerts, movies, dances, jazz, art and craft
shows and childrens recreational activities. |
| | On the deck are a
barbecue, table, chairs and recliners, encouraging outdoor dining and sun-bathing
with soaring eagles at eye-level and deer browsing in the meadow below.
A hammock hangs between two trees, and a mosaic table at the bottom of the property,
overlooking the cliff, is ideal for an inspiring morning coffee or before-dinner
drinks, offering idyllic privacy, peacefulness and a magnificent view.
|
Note:
Not recommended for small children because of adjacent cliff. Note:
Please, no pets, smoking, tents or campers. | |
