For those dreaming of an off-the-grid lifestyle, an entire island in B.C. that’s currently on the market might be calling your name.
For those dreaming of an off-the-grid lifestyle, an entire island in B.C. that’s currently on the market might be calling your name.
And at $2,250,000, this private sanctuary will run you not too much more than the average home cost in Vancouver or Victoria.
The locale in question is Fane Island, a Gulf Island located a two minute boat ride from Hope Bay on Pender Island.
The 1.9 acre property boasts a lighthouse; ancient fir, arbutus and Gerry Oak trees; a protected harbour and two beaches.
The concrete foundation for a boathouse is already there, as are two sites prime for houses.
And while you build your island paradise, there’s a small cabin with a kitchen and sleeping loft ready to go in the meantime.
“With its dramatic winter storms and long, balmy, calm summer evenings around a camp fire on the beach; with its playful baby seals, sea otters, mink and resident bald eagle, Fane Island has brought unforgettable memories to its owners—he a writer and she a painter— for well over a quarter century,” the listing reads.
