Andrew Van Wersch, the five-star woodworker (see his furniture portfolio) is completing the fabulous cottage on Savary Island that is for sale. Recently he sent me a note about what draws him back time after time to Savary Island.
Andrew could have built on any of the numerous Gulf Islands, but he has always chosen Savary. Here is what Andrew writes about his enjoyment of this sandy paradise:
Savary island is more than a place for me to satisfy my cottage building craving; it has many trails throughout for hiking and mountain biking. I love jumping on my Kona Cindercone and hitting the single track trails that lead to a variety of hidden and secluded beaches
The trails range from true single track winding through old growth forests and salal to beach esplanade with great views out across Georgia Straight to Desolation Sound and beyond. Sunset trail is one of my favorite esplanade trails with a rugged quality and all the beautiful character cottages to enjoy along the way. Even though there is not much elevation gain I can still get a great workout with the sandy trails and the steady up and down over the ancient dunes.
I love hopping on my bike and finding the perfect beach to enjoy moments of relaxation and catch up on some reading. On any given day you can find a beach out of the wind (or in the wind) with the perfect sun exposure~ the beauty of a small sandy island!
