$820,000 Canadian 320 acres Riverfront Substantial Mainland Acreage at the Head of Port Neville

These two-quarter sections of property are situated at the Mouth of Shoal Creek, which is one of two fresh water systems at the head Port Neville. The property encompasses both shorelines as well as a peninsula in the centre at the mouth of Shoal Creek where the estuary meets the ocean and the property runs up the river for 1 mile. A good portion of the property within these two titles is in fact the watercourse. The entire upland area is estimated to be approximately 220 acres. The upland area is certainly diverse; topography ranges from primarily level to moderately sloped along most of the shoreline with one relatively steep portion in the North West corner. The property has been selectively logged in areas over a number of years and is in various stages of regeneration. Currently there is a diverse mix of coverage from recent new growth to a fairly good compliment of old growth. Species include cedar, spruce, hemlock and a substantial amount of alder. It is estimated that there maybe approximately 15,000-20,000 cubic metres of merchantable timber. There is an established road network throughout portions of the property some of which are readily accessible and others, which could be easily reactivated. These roads provide extensive access throughout the region.

The property enjoys the convenience of the Port Neville government dock and post office located directly across this property. Access to Vancouver Island is approximately 20 minutes away by boat - 9 miles southeast and across Johnstone Straits to Kelsey Bay, which provides moorage, boat launching facilities, a local grocery store, service stations, restaurants, school, and RCMP detachment. Central to all outdoors activities and wildlife, Port Neville is a picturesque mainland inlet that provides relatively well-protected areas for outdoor activities, including excellent salmon and halibut fishing, crabbing and prawning. Port Neville is situated in Johnstone Straits on a portion of the mainland of British Columbia that extends towards and is the closest geographically to Vancouver Island. This location certainly puts one in the heart of some of the most dramatic coastal wilderness. The area is known for its abundance of mainland and marine wildlife. The head of the inlet is home to a population of resident grizzly bears - as well, the area has a variety of mainland and marine wildlife including the black bear, deer and smaller indigenous animals, sea lions, & seals. The marine activity also includes the annual migration of orca whales. This would certainly be an interesting location for establishing a wilderness resort or simply a great place for a very private remote retreat.
