Here's a rare opportunity to own 11+ acres of private waterfront property with 330' of walk-on beach and spectacular views across Desolation Sound. This peaceful area of Cortes is well-known as a pristine sailing and kayaking destination. Watch the whales go by or kayak right off the beach. Spend your days salmon fishing, prawning and digging for clams, or simply soak up the serenity. Moor your boat at Squirrel Cove public dock (walking distance) where there's also a general store, PO, Liquor store, gas for vehicles and boats, and take-out and the Cortes Seafest in the summer. Lakes and trails offer plenty for the outdoor adventurer or someone simply looking for a leisurely swim. Seasonal local produce and fresh bakes are always available at a year-round weekly market and the Cortes Natural Food Co-op The lot is beautifully treed, unspoilt and gently sloped in the central area. There's a great building site close to the beach and more options near the road. Current Rural 1 zoning allows for one house with a secondary suite and a cabin, or the lot could be subdivided into two 5+ acre Rural Residential lots with rezoning. The property has been registered to receive an optic fibre Internet connection for those who work remotely or want to run a home-based business. Original old house is built with beautiful timber harvested on the Lot in the 1970's and is sold as is (incomplete). Could be completed/rebuilt if desired and/or used for camping and storage as an interim measure. The Fisher wood stove has been inspected and cleaned and is usable for heat and cooking.
