This is one of those VERY SPECIAL waterfront properties that only become available once in a while. Nothing beats an arbutus grove beside a quiet white-shell beach, and sandstone ridges that shelter the homestead before plunging into the sea, framing a private turquoise-coloured cove and multiple safe swimming areas. This part of Ruxton Island is quieter and less populated, and is also ideal for its calmer waters - especially here in Whaleboat Passage across from the 10 hectare provincial marine park and bird sanctuary. The best building spot on Lot 8 is where the old cabin sits currently; a new 2-storey build could enjoy 250-degree ocean views and could walk out onto the sandstone ridge overlooking the property and Valdes Island. The fully insulated timber-frame bunkie/studio was built in 2023 to a high standard. A 3000-gal cistern catches rain and another stands ready. Landing your boat is easy with over 500 feet of waterfront, a natural pier at higher tides, three custom mooring buoys in deeper water (4000 lb blocks with 3/4'' chain running through PVC), and a gradual pebble beach if you want to haul a boat up. This property is worth a visit in any weather or any tide. It could be in your family for generations. (id:13843)
