Hidden away at the end of a quiet country road, where life slows, lies a property unlike any other on Denman Island. This contemporary Orca-built retreat offers a rare vision of modern regenerative living on 7.2 acres of regenerating forest. Three striking A-frame buildings are thoughtfully positioned for both connection and privacy. The primary 2 bed, 2 bath dwelling has been temporarily divided to create two living spaces, while the third, fully furnished legal suite offers lots of flexibility and income potential. Built in 2021 with screw foundations, steel stud framing, metal siding, and galvanized steel roofs, these fire-smart homes are exceptionally durable and low maintenance. Productive gardens, fruit trees, a greenhouse, workshop, and winding forest trails complete the setting. Just minutes from beaches and park trails, this is more than a beautiful property—it’s a thoughtfully designed place to grow, create, and embrace an intentional island lifestyle for generations to come.
There is better road access if you take Denman Rd, turn left on Swan Rd
