Discover the peace and potential of this private 5+ acre property, where the sound of sea lions and the salty breeze from nearby Baynes Sound remind you how close you are to the coast. Mostly undeveloped and ready for your vision, this CR-1 zoned property offers outstanding flexibility, including the potential for a secondary dwelling. Built in 2014, the home features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, a cozy wood stove, modern kitchen with maple cabinetry, two bedrooms on the main floor, and a 215 sq.ft. loft ideal as a third bedroom, office, or rec room. A 23' x 22' detached shop/garage, added in 2020, includes a covered carport for RV or boat storage. Minutes from the Denman and Hornby Island ferry, just 15 minutes to Courtenay or Cumberland's world-class trail network, this is a rare opportunity to build your dream home while keeping the existing home as a mortgage helper or family accommodation or enjoy this turn-key property as-is and focus on your new life.
