Private islands offer privacy without isolation, in many of the Pacific Northwest Coast areas. In the heart of the best protected boating waters in the world, and close to major centres or vibrant communities, these islands allow you to be yourself without feeling that you are too far away from needed amenities.
North Trail Island, nestled off Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast side of Georgia Strait (now also referred to as the Salish Sea), offers 33 acres of a meadow/forest mix, with spectacular views...connected to power and to water off nearby Sunshine Coast mainland...it's possible to have sheep or horses here. Main home, caretaker's residence, outbuildings, pasture, coves, dock, sunny (e/s/w exposures), with dock and a lowbank bay for barging on supplies, if needed. It's a gem!
Second Sister Island, in Ganges Harbour, a part of Salt Spring's lovely experience, is another opportunity. 3+ acres, awaiting your design decisions...zoned for main home, plus studio, plus guest cottage. Dock in place...tie up, enjoy now!
Johnstone Island, just off Canoe Cove, close to Sidney by the Sea and a short drive from Victoria Airport or Swartz Bay ferry terminal or Sidney terminal of ferry from Anacortes, in the U.S. Once the home of famed marine architect, Bill Garden, this beauty has approx 170 ft dock, plus two parking spaces and a boat slip, on an annual lease at Canoe Cove Marina...a 22 ft Ranger tug also goes with the island.
