The Arbutus
The Arbutus is Blend’s largest rancher, derived from our Rancher 9 model and set into the mountain rock on Salt Spring Island’s west side. Its matte black cedar cladding settles quietly among the arbutus trees, with fifteen-foot accordion doors opening to a full-length deck oriented toward the strait. Inside, a wood-stove insert anchors the living area within a custom hearth that echoes the surrounding rock formations.
A skylit hallway links the entry to the opposite deck with integrated storage along the route. The kitchen features a floating island, custom millwork by Woodshop 506, and a Fisher & Paykel appliance package. Finishes such as custom dining lighting and a skylit shower positioned toward ocean views reinforce the home’s warmth and livability.
