The island features a protected harbour with a 10x40 dock, allowing all-tide access for small craft. Existing structures include a 2,100 sq. ft (approx.)three-season home with three bedrooms and a loft and immediate functionality while planning your dream residence. Additional accommodations and buildings include a year-round caretaker’s cabin overlooking the harbour, a partially renovated studio cabin perfect for guests, a workshop, storage buildings, and a covered sawmill area. Essential services are well-established, with hydroelectric power via submarine cable from Vancouver Island, a productive well with 14,000 gallons of water storage, and on-site septic. The island’s natural landscape features gentle park-like topography, low and medium bank water access, and a mature forest populated by coastal Douglas fir, arbutus, and junipers.
