A Home With History — A Salt Spring Landmark | The Old Vicarage. Steeped in history and rich with character, The Old Vicarage is a distinctive Salt Spring Island property where heritage charm and modern living meet. The farmhouse and barn underwent a substantial renovation between 2006 and 2009, preserving original character while adding stylish design and modern conveniences.
Set well back from the road on more than 10 sunny, level, farmable acres, this iconic 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom farmhouse offers exceptional privacy. Heritage details, expansive covered porches, a durable metal roof and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming home. The main level features a beautifully appointed kitchen for effortless entertaining, inviting living spaces and private office opening to a covered porch.
Upstairs, three heritage-inspired bedrooms combine timeless character with a modern aesthetic, complemented by a spa-inspired 4-piece bathroom. The lower level provides flexible family/recreation space with no-step entrances. Covered porches, decks and patios overlook gardens, orchards and pastoral grounds.
Mature landscaping, productive gardens and a heritage pear orchard producing up to 4,000 lbs. of fruit in a good year add to the property's charm. A remarkable 10,403 sq.
ft. pole barn provides versatility, including a 2,485 sq. ft.
finished studio with 3-piece bath, 2,807 sq. ft. workshop and 5,111 sq.
ft. storage. Beside Portlock Park and across from the golf club, with a walk to the movies at Central, Baker Beach and St.
