Mist Island

Mist Island is the largest of three islands nestled in the protected waters of Port Harvey which is situated between East and West Cracroft Islands. This is a fabulous, south-central coast location with quick, easy access to Johnstone Strait and Eve River on Vancouver Island. Slightly to the north-west are Telegraph Cove and Port McNeill and to the south-east is the village of Kelsey Bay.

This location also provides quick access to Knight Inlet, one of BC’s largest mainland fjords, and the Broughton Archipelago Marine Group of islands and Marine Park which are situated approximately 15 miles to the west. This region offers a multitude of outdoor recreation possibilities.

Mist Island is 35.25 acres, undeveloped and unspoiled, offering a mixed, diverse topography and shoreline from low-bank easy access to higher rock outcrops, deep water all around the south, west and north sides of the island and estuaries, sand and gravel beaches to the east. The island is fully forested in a beautiful mix of mature second growth and some old growth forest, which includes hemlock, cedar and fir. Truly a magnificent property in a great location.

Also offered for sale, separately, is a modern and comfortable 2 bedroom float home. This fully self-contained package is absolutely spotless, nicely appointed through-out, completely furnished turn-key ready to go.

Wrap around deck on all four sides, two of which are covered, fish cleaning station, mechanical room/workshop and storage area that has all the equipment required to maintain and operate support systems such as the diesel generator, water filtration system and propane system. The asking price is $110,000.

Buyers of Mist Island may want to seriously consider acquiring the float home as it would make a superb accommodation while developing the island and then re-sold afterwards. One may also consider utilizing the mechanical systems, appliances and other components of the home for an upland development.

Float Home Systems:

Water – Currently there is a 250 gal tank. Another 2 tanks are being added for a total of 750 gal. There is also rain water capture from both sides of the roof.

Septic – Holding tank. The system seems to be a series of baffled tanks that overflow from one to the next. There has never been any back-up problem and usage has been intermittent and minimal.

Heating – Propane heating with very functional and efficient wood burning stove. The heated oil radiator is used only when the generator is on.

This is certainly one of the most wild and wonderful regions of the Coast. It provides an array of spectacular outdoor activities and scenery. Wildlife abounds – everything from the majestic bald eagle to a variety of mainland wildlife that includes Grizzly Bears. Knight Inlet is recognized around the world as one of the premier regions for watching Grizzly Bears in their natural habitat in addition to all of the other mainland and marine wildlife.

Only a small portion of everything this area has to offer is described above. The Broughton Archipelago provides endless waterways to explore. Some of the world’s best Orca, Killer Whale viewings are common in the immediate area and a short distance to the West is Robson Bight, which is acclaimed to be the premier spot for viewing Orcas, Porpoises and other marine wildlife.

The area all combined, the islands, fjords, mountains, wildlife and rainforest coast provide the guests with some of the best wilderness fishing and wildlife viewing still available on the BC Coast.
