Forested acreage located on Kaleva Road with southern frontage and exposure, just across the street from the ocean and expansive stretch of round stone and pebble beach. The property is a 10 minute drive along the waterfront from the town centre in Sointula, and just before Maynelle Pt, along the southern shore of Malcolm Island.
The lower southwest portion of this 14.9 acre property is very pastoral, with expansive grassy areas and a manicured alder forest. A few hundred feet into the property there is a slight escarpment and the balance of the property is primarily level with a gentle grade. The upper bench is covered in a variety of vegetation with sections of more mature forested areas. The lay of the land makes the property very versatile and user-friendly.
A creek meanders through the property originating from the north-east corner, creating a beautiful tranquil soundscape. A substantial driveway is in place from the road to about halfway up the property, where it then becomes a quad trail.
The property was recently subdivided from a larger parcel. A 178ft deep well was drilled in 2024 with an estimated 20 US gpm yield and with full water analysis results available. Soil tests have been completed for septic suitability, which are also available.
This is a beautiful location to create an amazing oceanside property! It is ready to develop as the owner has started the process.
The rural commercial zoning allows a residential dwelling, as well as the opportunity for development of such things as lodges, campgrounds and cabins, home agriculture, cottage dwellings, or bed and breakfast.
Malcolm Island and the town of Sointula offer a picturesque west coast lifestyle. Sointula was originally founded by Finnish immigrants in the early 1900s looking for a better way of life, and that history is still reflected in the town. It has also been an active fishing centre in the region. The community of approx. 800 offers most basic services as well as shopping, restaurants and recreational opportunities.
This area of the British Columbia coast offers a multitude of activities. For those who love to fish and harvest seafood it is plentiful in all respects. The natural beauty and abundance of marine and other wildlife provide endless activity for nature lovers. The region is home to a northern population of resident killer whales (Orcas), and other marine mammals including dolphins, harbour porpoise, porpoise, seals, and wintering sea lions. Other wildlife in the area includes deer, bears, shorebirds, seabirds, loons, and bald eagles. Vast numbers of salmon migrate through these waters providing excellent salmon fishing.
