Description
Dreaming of a life closer to nature; in a house by the sea where you can live, breathe and drink in the pristine beauty of BC’s coastal wilderness? This oceanside, owner-built, off-grid acreage home on Gilford Island, designed for comfortable year-round living overlooks Cramer Pass, a view of islands, Mt. Stevens, and passing whales. Explore the inlets and beaches of the Broughton Archipelago, feast on fresh caught crab or prawns; fish for salmon, cod or halibut for dinner. You’ll often spot an orca pod or humpback breaching. After a trip in your boat to Port McNeill for groceries, you’ll moor at the roomy dock, then walk up the sturdy aluminum ramp to shore. Locally milled lumber and thoughtful design are evident throughout the two and a half story home. Three ground floor entrances open into painting and pottery studios, and stairs to the main floor. An open concept kitchen/dining/living room, recreation room with pool table, and primary bedroom, each access the spacious deck above the foreshore and dock. An arched window by the tub in the bathroom allows you to stargaze while bathing and upstairs there are two more bedrooms and a second bathroom. Fully integrated new 18KW generator, solar panels and battery bank provide year-round electricity. This home has wood and propane hot-water baseboard heating, and hot water on demand. The main source of water is gravity fed from a nearby creek on the property. The gardens support a mix of specimen and indigenous trees, shrubs and flowers and lily pond, home to indigenous red-legged frogs. Garden beds are dedicated to flowers, berry bushes and vegetables to grow the fresh produce to accompany your seafood feasts. Additional structures outside the house are two pottery kilns, generator and woodshed. Don’t hesitate to reach out for more information about this golden opportunity and plan a visit to experience this turnkey opportunity firsthand. (id:63159)
