$8M ranch ‘above the clouds’ hits the market on Salt Spring Island

A unique home nestled “above the clouds” on Salt Spring Island is up for sale.

The Zauberberg Ranch, listed by Sotheby’s International Realty, will set you back a cool $8 million.

Originally built in 1994, and completely renovated in 2019, the French country-style residence is “blessed” with panoramic views of the Southern Gulf and San Juan Islands.

The 71-acre property features meadows, trails and orchards—making it a cottage core dreamland—all while being surrounded by 1,100 hectares of old growth forest.

Inside you’ll find cathedral ceilings, stone patios, a solarium, facilities for horses and a sauna and cabana.

The listing touts the property as “the ultimate escape from a chaotic world” while still only being 12 minutes from the town.

It adds that, at 1,100 feet above sea level with space for a helipad or choice of seaplanes, Zauberberg is “conveniently a stone’s throw away from the urban cities though far enough to bask in the unencumbered vastness of the stars.”
