Property Description

Set on the south shores of Malcolm Island just minutes from the ferry, this 31 acre property offers expansive ocean views across Broughton Strait to Vancouver Island, sunny southern exposure on a mix of forested and pastoral land and a substantial 1500ft of oceanfront on the opposite side of Kaleva Rd, which is unusual along the oceanfront roads on Malcolm Island outside of 1st St in town. A long driveway leads past the open fields and horse paddocks then into a forested section complete with a gravel pit. There is a drilled well currently in use on the property. Records show 2 other drilled wells registered on the property. A pump house covers one of the well heads and also holds filtration equipment and horse tack. This property would make a wonderful family estate. Currently the property operates an oceanfront campground known as Harmony Shores on the eastern portion of the property, with open field sites, forested sites, and oceanfront sites. Zoned as rural commercial which allows residential use as well as tourism-based activity and campgrounds and cabins and would also allow for subdivision to 4.94 acres (with the necessary approvals). A single detached home and a cottage could currently be built. One could even continue the campground business, build a home and live there full time and enjoy horses on the property. Malcolm Island and the town of Sointula offer a picturesque west coast lifestyle. Sointula was originally founded by Finnish immigrants in the early 1900s looking for a better way of life, and that history is still reflected in the town. It has also been an active fishing centre in the region. The community of approx. 800 offers most basic services as well as shopping, restaurants and recreational opportunities. (id:7434)
