$759,000 Canadian It simply doesn't get much better when it comes to a Discovery Island location.
This property with its improvements could accommodate a variety of applications. Certainly ideal as a wilderness residence or vacation property - it lends itself well for a group purchase or a corporate retreat. The present owners have operated a vacation bed & breakfast lodge accommodation over the years. There is room to expand if one desires.
	This property is located on the southern shores of Sonora Island nicely tucked into the West of Walter's Point, which is on the West entrance to Owen Bay. In all respects this is truly one of the most outstanding locations one could find anywhere in the region. This 3.8-acre property with over 400 feet of low bank oceanfront is truly amazing and is in an extremely well protected location with direct Southwest exposure and deepwater moorage. An absolutely picturesque location with splendid views across Okosollo Channel, of Okis Islands and the Lower Rapids.
The region surrounding this property teams with wildlife, and experiences some of the most phenomenal tidal action known to this area. Relatively quick easy access to mainland inlets and a number of areas very close by that provide excellent crabbing, prawning, fishing amongst numerous other opportunities.
	The property for the most part has a very gentle sloping topography and is surrounded by Crown Land and mature 2nd growth forest. Just to the West of the property is a substantial creek, which drains from St. Aubyn Lake. This water supply provides year round water as well as the ability to generate electricity. The integrated power system includes a water driven pelton wheel, which supplies a bank of batteries connected to an inverter, a generator for those times when additional power is required and a propane system that provides fuel for appliances.
During the last 20 years the owners have done a superb job of developing this property. Self sufficiency and the ability to live independently goes without question. Over half the property to the southwest and adjacent to the ocean has been cleared and developed into expansive lawns, vegetable and flower gardens, including an orchard, with small buildings and fenced areas to accommodate chickens and small livestock.
	There are 3 residential structures on the property. These include a self-contained 400 sq.ft. cottage, which is approximately 18 years old, also a 900+ sq.ft. duplex with lofts providing 2 fully self-contained units, offering 600 sq.ft. each. This duplex style cottage is about 12 years old. The newest dwelling and principal residence is a 1300 sq.ft., 2 bedroom rancher. All of the buildings have been extremely well placed and constructed, built with materials that have been milled on site
Each building has expansive decks to enjoy the outdoor living and take in everything this location has to offer. The principal residence also has a large in deck hot tub. All of the dwellings on the property are in very good repair. Each of the four self-contained units have their own woodstove and are fully furnished, equipped, and ready to use. These have been very popular bed & breakfast lodge accommodations over the years. There is cell phone as well as satellite internet communication from this location. The moorage facilities have been securely in place for 20 years and provide approximately 160 ft of moorage.
