The Wetherly on Salt Spring Island is an exceptional 30 acre estate of absolute privacy and outstanding natural beauty.

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.

Private, elemental and deeply connected to its surroundings, Centre Cove is a place designed to disconnect from everything unnecessary and reconnect with what remains. Set across approximately 47 acres on Nova Scotia’s Digby Neck, the property encompasses an entire cove along the Bay of Fundy. Forest, rock and water shape the landscape, creating a remarkable sense of seclusion and an ever-changing connection to one of the world’s most dramatic bodies of water. Dark against the surrounding forest, the residence feels grounded in the landscape rather than imposed upon it. Inside, warm wood, natural materials and an understated palette create intimate, beautifully resolved spaces. Expansive windows keep the water, sky and changing light always present. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, while the open upper level offers a sleeping loft together with flexible lounge and office space. Outdoor spaces extend naturally into the landscape. Life here has been considered with the same sense of purpose. Solar power and propane support an independent, off-grid existence, while a natural swimming pond, trails through the acreage and the shoreline beyond invite a different way of experiencing the land. Days are shaped by changing light, weather and tide. There is freedom in its self-sufficiency and luxury in how little competes for your attention. Elements of the original cabin remain within the home, built from trees milled on the property itself. The residence that evolved around it was brought to life by accomplished local carpenters, cabinetmakers, metalsmiths and stonemasons, creating a home as much a product of this place as a response to it. Created by acclaimed American designer Rick Valicenti, whose career has been recognized with some of the design profession’s highest honours, including the AIGA Medal and Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Award, Centre Cove reflects a lifetime of creative thinking. His design sensibility is evident not through decoration or excess, but in the restraint, proportion and intention found throughout the property.

Presenting Halcyon Days — an enduring work of art born from fortitude and love. The late British Columbia artist Karl Stittgen designed and built the residence as a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright. Together with his beloved wife, Nora, the acclaimed jewelry designer and ceramic artist constructed this sanctuary to honour his architectural icon. His magnum opus is perched high on North Pender Island, embraced by a private 6 acre landscape that disappears from the world. The property includes the 2,800 square foot residence, a tea house, separate 650 square foot guest cottage, an elevator, two kilns, and breathtaking ocean views. True to Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles, the home offers thoughtful use of windows and light to live in harmony with nature, an open floor plan, natural materials, form and function as one, and total integration. The integration is evident with the custom built-ins of furniture throughout the home. The experience of visiting the property is truly unique. Accessible only by ferry, float-plane, or boat, Pender Island (originally one island, a canal was dug separating the island into "North" and "South" Pender Island) is a unique place in BC's Gulf Islands. With very little developed for tourism, the island offers only the essentials. But, it has also become home to a thriving community of artists, conservationists, homesteaders, and farmers. From honour-system fridges full of gourmet foods to cutting edge craft cider to breathtaking galleries, for those who enjoy the finest artisan goods and the passion for creation, there is no better place to live than Pender Island. Just down the road from Southridge Country Farm Store (a delightful grocery store), you turn right onto a steep, winding driveway, elevating through old-growth and ecologically dense forest. You drive past the guest house (that is easy to miss with how it disappears into the forest), through a set of gates, and up to the magnificent house. Perched atop the natural rock face, among a tangled web of arbutus and fir, the long horizontal lines of the house emanate a feeling of calm. A remarkable amount of birdsong fills the air - it's almost like the birds understand they are welcome here and embrace the serenity of the home. The main house is entered through natural rock steps off the driveway up to the house. Although one level, it is elevated above the garage and an elevator provides convenient access to bring goods up to the house. You enter the home and are guided into the main living space. With the unique triangular window protruding outwards, you are immersed into the view of the forest below and the ocean beyond. The experience of immersion with the natural world continues with the monochromatic custom woodwork nearly everywhere in the home. The floor throughout most of the home is aggregate stonework that, with bare feet, gives the feeling of walking on the very stone outside that surrounds the home. In the kitchens and bathrooms, grey countertops and floor tiles blend with the stone of the living area's floor creating a seamless palette of ruddy brown, grey, and white that flows through the home. It is the perfect backdrop for displaying art and literature - though arguably the view through the windows is the greatest work of art possible. Most important in the living area is the library, or "sanctuary". The custom built-in shelves, study, and seating area lit by a geometric skylight offers the perfect immersive creative space for an artist, without feeling isolated from the rest of the home and surrounding nature. A central stone fireplace is the only thing to create division between the sanctuary and laiving area. The white wall above the fireplace is engraved with the quote "Voluisse mihi, satis est" (To have wanted, for me, is enough). "Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture is without any doubt the most livable there is. This compared to Modernist architecture or of the Arts & Crafts style makes me shudder. For a while in Vancouver we had what was then called the post & beam style which was derivative of Wright’s construction methods. They were wonderful houses! I don’t understand why that trend of the 50s and 60s has not continued and that we have gone back to the Arts & Crafts style. Frank Lloyd Wright’s interiors have been proven by people who live in them as being interiors that “form” a lifestyle." - Karl Stittgen Down a few steps from the main house is the separate Japanese Tea House. The Tea House is positioned in a serene setting on the edge of the point. It follows the same design principles as the rest of the property. It is well-integrated into nature with large windows and natural wood construction. The Guest House on the property is where Karl spent his remaining years. Although compact, it makes effective use of space and has a more recently upgraded kitchen, single bedroom and bathroom, and living space with a wood-burning fireplace. After Nora's passing, the guest house become both Karl's residence and studio. Near-finished, un-finished, and raw materials of his ceramic and clay works still remain untouched in the guest house. As left, right now the guest house sits as a tableau of Karl's creative process and spirit, frozen in time. An extraordinary sanctuary for an artist or collector, Karl and Nora’s legacy awaits its next steward — someone who will cherish beauty as deeply as they did.
