FAQ ~ Savary Island Cottage Property

Please be sure to read About the Cottage and About the Builder, as some of the email questions arriving are covered in those sections. However, over the past several weeks there has been a number of of good questions. Here they are, with Andrew's answers.

Where is the nearest swimming beach? Is it sandy?

The closest beach is at mermaid rock which is about a 5 minute walk from the cottage. This sandy beach faces north west, you get incredible sunsets over desolation sound here. The closest south facing beach is Sutherland trail a 5 minute bike ride west to get to the beach trail. This is also a sandy beach. Most beaches are sandy on the island except at the eastern side and in the sunset trail area.


What direction does the cottage face? Is there sun?

The front of the cottage points directly south.  I have the septic field south of the cottage as well as the septic field on the adjoining lot to the south, so this gives a wide open and sunny exposure. I have been working on this cottage all winter and when the sun shines this little cottage captures a piece of the sun continuously throughout the day. As you many know, many interior lot cottages on Savary are growing mold all winter long~ not this baby!


Are you going to put more pictures?

More pictures will be appearing shortly both on the website and on the blog. Soon the cedar siding will be on the cottage, which will make a huge difference in its appearance (for the better, of course!). Look forward to those images soon.



How much is the waterfront cottage going to cost, and how big is it going to be?

These details will be appearing in time on this website. The focus for now is on this first cottage. Anyone who may be interested in purchasing both lots / cottages together should contact Andrew Van Wersch for information.
