From the Agent: "The journey to this retreat is accessible through a tucked-away road at the base of the mountain. A winding drive through ancient forests ascends 500 feet above sea level, to the summit of a vast natural reserve revealing a hidden modernist residence created by Blue Sky Architecture and recently remastered by Measured Architecture. Upon arrival, the home’s interlocking wooden volumes emerge between sandstone ridges creating a striking figure against a cinematic Gulf Island backdrop. Inside, the house blends the modern and the organic, with a serene white interior setting a quiet stage for a swooping glulam structure. Exuding both grandeur and intimacy, this sanctuary offers panoramic views over international waters and secret glimpses of the immediate grounds. Just 20 minutes by floatplane from Vancouver, this hideaway stands ready for its next custodian."
