$1,595,000 Canadian Certainly One of Quadra Island's Premier Oceanfront Acreages
From the moment one steps on the property, one cannot help but be captivated by the beauty of this acreage, and the lay of the land in this truly special location. Located on the East side of Quadra Island at the end of a no thru road this triangular shaped property fans out to capture an extensive, diverse oceanfront that takes in 2 small bays and a portion of a peninsula - a location that offers excellent privacy, great sun exposure and good protection from extreme weather.
	The central portion of the acreage and the area surrounding the existing residence have been nicely cleared and manicured into rolling lawns with an expansive vegetable garden and a driveway network that meanders throughout the property. The balance of the property is in its natural state and covered with a beautiful, mature forest.
The current dwelling is a modest yet solid 1000 sq.ft. building with quite a history. The structure was in fact built in 1914 and is what we refer to as a camp, skid house. During its life it has traveled throughout the coast and been in a number of locations as a living accommodation. It now rests just steps from the ocean in a picturesque little bay on this property. As much as it is warm and dry and certainly livable, there is no doubt that this property begs for the development of a new residence equal to and to complement the caliber of this land.
	This acreage offers more than a few tremendous locations for the construction of a new home. The shop on the property measures 20 x 36 and has an extensive overhang that provides covered outdoor storage. It is a relatively new, attractive building finished in cedar and has an independent electrical service.
Another significant benefit this property offers is protected deepwater moorage. Tucked into the West bay of the property is a substantial moorage facility, constructed on and held in place with steel pilings.The standing pier, ramp and dock are all constructed with treated or galvanized steel with the appropriate wood finishing and tie downs around the dock to protect and secure boats. Very few properties on Quadra, especially in this location provide this degree of protected deepwater moorage.
	The internal driveways provide vehicle access to the head of a dock. Services include hydro electricity, telephone, an approved septic system with the capacity for a 3- bedroom residence and an 80 ft drilled well that produces good volumes of domestic water. If you are looking for something very special in an oceanfront property with the intention of building your dream home, this is a must see.
The property has good road access. It is located approximately 20 minutes from Heriot Bay, where there are a variety of services available such as marinas, hotel, restaurant, pub, grocery and liquor stores, hardware stores and mail service.
