1309 Mackinnon Rd Low bank, walk-on beaches on the Gulf Islands are exceedingly rare. Privately owned islands here are arguably rarer. To feature BOTH on one property makes this truly the most unique of offerings. ''Waterlea, '' as it is affectionately known is made up of roughly 3.5 acres of low bank waterfront. Surrounded by sandy beaches on 3 sides, a +/-1 acre private island and featuring Canada’s first olive grove with 80+ olive trees, this opportunity is not to be missed. A boater’s sanctuary, the Gulf Islands are known for their gorgeous vistas, calm waters, safe harbours and marinas. The 114 year old manor is a rustic farmhouse that sits just feet away from the water’s edge and boasts dramatic aquatic views from every principal room. Sit back on the deck and watch the otters play, the eagles soar, and the orcas swim through the kelp beds. For those who know...it’s paradise, actually! (id:203)
