About This Property
Tucked away in an off-grid paradise just off the east coast of Vancouver Island sits a truly special property with a story as unique as its setting. Several of the doors were hand crafted from single pieces of split old-growth cedar, giving the home a unique look and timeless feel. The cabin blends that original charm with thoughtful modern upgrades with a brand new 16’x20’ addition features vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and beautiful views over Naylor Bay. The exterior siding was milled on site and finished using the traditional Japanese Yakisugi technique, creating a striking aesthetic while enhancing durability. Comfort meets off-grid living with pressurized water (over 10,000 L storage), hot water on demand, reverse osmosis drinking water, and an additional 2000 L cistern for gardening on the private half-acre property. A new attached 10’x20’ shop offers flexible space for storage, projects, or potential guest accommodation. The property also features a new solar system (1140 aH battery capacity, 1400W panels, generator backup), a durable metal roof for excellent rainwater collection, and a new deck built with local Douglas fir treated with LifeTime for longevity—perfect for relaxing island evenings. The home comfortably sleeps 5, with room for expansion. Boaters will appreciate the private moorage ball in nearby Naylor Bay. Good cell service and Starlink WiFi are available, and you’re just a 2-minute walk to the bay and public well. This is more than a cabin—it’s a Gulf Island adventure, ready for its next chapter. Measurements to be verified. (id:64973)
