1010 Taki Te Si Road, Gambier Island

A rare opportunity to own an architectural WATERFRONT masterpiece. Designed by renowned architect Henry Yorke Mann, Posts Standing is a striking West Coast Modernist retreat that blends bold design with the natural beauty of West Bay on Gambier Island. The 2-bed home was milled with logs from the beautiful 1.2-acre, SE-facing acreage and features expansive glass windows to create a feeling like it was grown from the land itself. Inside, the warm timber interior showcases massive exposed log beams and posts, a soaring vaulted ceiling, abundant clerestory glazing and full‑height picture windows that frame sweeping water views; the open-plan living/dining/kitchen includes a large butcher‑block island with integrated sink, stainless steel appliances, terra‑cotta tone tile flooring in the kitchen, built‑in bench seating with a long farmhouse table, skylights in the bedroom areas, and a central cylindrical woodstove with a polished metal flue. The estate features a guesthouse with 3 pce bath — situated close to the shoreline and accompanied by a separate small sauna building and a compact accessory shed — a 2-stall carport, a large play area for kids framed by mature trees, a sauna, and a large garage/workshop with tons of storage and easy vehicle access from the gravel driveway. Outside there are multiple wraparound decks and cantilevered balconies with glass railings, natural stone/aggregate pathways and stairs leading down through the trees to the water, and a permitted 20'x35' dock with ramp and winch and a Funicular elevator (the 2014 Sea Doo is stored on the dock/ramp). This estate comes with all of the toys, John Deere 4-seat Gator, Peloton, water bikes, 2014 Sea Doo with a ramp and winch on a permitted 20'x35' dock with a Funicular elevator. Must see! (id:1945)
