Significant Oceanfront Acreage. A Rare Opportunity!
	This 38-acre oceanfront property is situated in the north end of Gowlland Harbour Quadra Island. There is approximately 2000 ft of protected oceanfront with views to the east into Gowlland Harbour around to the southern portion where the views extend southward across the entrance of Gowlland Harbour past May Island Steep Island down Discovery Passage and beyond to Vancouver Island. Mt. Washington and the Strathcona Park mountain range are the backdrop to this beautiful view. From the very top of the property the views are even more panoramic.
The acreage has a mixed topography with a rugged beauty all its own. Aside from the required road construction and installation of underground electrical service this acreage has been left in its natural state - nicely treed with numerous moss-covered knolls and plateaus. Road access to the property is from North Gowlland Harbour Rd. a gravel forest service road that is accessed from Hyacinthe Bay Rd., which is a paved main road. Travel time between the ferry in Quathiaski Cove and the property is approximately 20 minutes. At the entrance to the property the owners have installed a steel security gate to ensure privacy and to maintain security.
	This property could be well suited to someone looking for an estate size oceanfront acreage with lots of privacy. It would also be suitable for a family or group purchase due to the fact that the current zoning allows for four separate homes.
There is underground hydro electrical service and domestic water is provided from a drilled well with a substantial pump house and enclosed reservoir system. Currently there is a 1500 gal reservoir with all new pumps and filtration system, which could easily be doubled in size as the building was designed to allow for this. This building also doubles as a storage facility to accommodate uses related to the dock facilities. The domestic water supply is shared between this property and 2 other neighbourhood properties providing each a 1/3rd interest in the water system.
	The dock and moorage facilities have been installed on the southern portion of this property. This is a quality system that includes an aluminum ramp and a concrete dock with pressure treated fir siding and tie downs. These dock facilities provide protected year round deep-water moorage, shared between this property and 3 other property owners in the immediate neighbourhood, all of which have an equal 25% interest in these improvements. If one prefers private moorage that is not shared, application can be made to the provincial authorities for another license of occupation.
Oceanfront properties on the west side of Quadra Island rarely come available, especially those with protected deep-water moorage. This acreage provides for a number of interesting potential building sites offering a variety of views and benefits. The southern portion of the property has a driveway, which accesses what is likely the premier building location due to the fact that it has a more level topography close to the ocean's edge with easy access to the beach and excellent bright sunny exposure all day long.
	Other items of interest: Along the inside portion of the oceanfront, the owners have granted a foreshore lease to a Forest Company to accommodate a tie down area for log booms. This foreshore lease involves 1000 ft of foreshore along the most difficult to access, steepest portion of the shoreline and nets the owners $4500 per year and can be renewed or cancelled at the owner's option. There is a small quarry on the property created during the road construction that retains a significant volume of water. This water reservoir is a natural supplementary or back up system for irrigation, fire protection and/or additional domestic requirements.
Quadra Island is the largest and most populated of the Discovery Island group. It lies between Campbell River on Vancouver Island and the mainland coast of British Columbia, off Canada's west coast. The breathtaking wilderness scenery, mild temperate climate, and natural beauty make it a popular destination. There are complete services on the island as well as a wide variety of accommodation and dining. Unlimited adventure recreation includes sport fishing, diving, hiking on over 200 km of hiking trails, sea kayaking, powerboat and sailing. There are many beaches, protected channels and sheltered coves along the shoreline and an abundance of marine and bird life.
