Jervis Inlet Oceanfront Acreage for sale: 2 bedroom (Listed 2011-03-29)

A highly desirable hide-a-way like this rarely becomes available.  You will find this property has all the important factors and characteristics when searching for the right property including the perfect location. High quality products were used in the construction of all the improvements and the craftsmanship is superb.

THE LAND - 11.37 acres of prime oceanfront property. The land is a magnificent piece of property including 1,400 feet of premium low bank shoreline.

At the western boundary, a secluded bay comprised of small pebbles with a gentle decent into the ocean. This is the perfect place for the children to play and explore on a shallow tide or learn to paddle their first boat. This beach is also loaded with enough clams and oysters to pick as needed.

As you work your way north leaving the head of the bay you first encounter the perfect spot to launch kayaks or other types of watercraft. A well built road accesses this area.

As you continue north the land turns into granite, this is the location of the sheltered deep water private dock.

Continuing past the dock to the end of the Peninsula this entire Westside of the property is very nicely sheltered from the prevailing winds out of the South East. At the tip of the Peninsula is the Gazebo which takes advantage of the panoramic 240 degree views. This vantage point stretches for Miles in either direction.

From the Northern tip of the Peninsula the property works its way back to the east. This stretch of shoreline is largely unimproved and left in a natural state to the property perimeter, exactly the way it should be. Not only to provide extreme privacy but a natural shield from the elements. View corridors along this stretch have been opened up to take advantage of the view down Jervis Inlet toward the snow capped coastal mountains.

The entire 11.37 acres of land is very gentle and nearly flat.  Once leaving the shoreline and working back the land has a very gentle grade. This makes the entire property completely useable. It is maturely landscaped with towering evergreens and sprawling lawns, it truly feels like you are in a park. The owners have spent countless hours manicuring the property into its current state.

At the rear of the property there is an internal road system that connects all the properties that is approximately 5 km in length. It’s not used very often and I think you may find more people use the road for exercise. There are no predatory animals on the Island and it is very safe for families to travel the road and venture off into the woods. 

The property has a fantastic fresh water supplied by way of a drilled well and 1,350 gallons of storage. The property has excellent sun exposure.  Because Hardy Island is low lying, the property has sun from the moment the sun comes up until the moment the sunsets.

THE HOME - built in 1999 is an architecturally designed, handcrafted Post and Beam Home constructed from Log. The open design has a warm, comfortable and inviting feeling with an exceptional amount of natural light. The home features a level entry, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms with a total finished area on the main floor of approximately 1,112 square feet. Unassumingly there is a full unfinished basement below.
 
Every element of the interior finish is exceptional. Subzero refrigerator hidden into the cabinetry, granite countertops, a mixture of glass and natural wood make this home a work of art.

A covered patio fronts the home for outside living and entertaining. Complete with elegant recessed lighting and natural stone work.

THE WORKSHOP/ ELECTRICAL SHED - The electrical system is a great set up that is easy to manage and is extremely economical. Large deep cell batteries are used to retain power which is generated by the primary diesel generator (Kubota 27 kw with 1500 hours). Then there is a back up propane generator that is used in case the main should fail. The secondary system is more than adequate to be the primary system. The power then runs through two invertors that convert the power from 12V to 110 Amp giving you all the comforts of modern day home.

The electrical system has the capability to handle any load.The electrical shed is constructed from Log and blends very well with the other improvements. It is located a fair distance from the home and improved areas. It is very unobtrusive and when the generator is running you would have to listen real hard to hear it. One really nice feature is the availability of fuel to be delivered right to the property. You don’t even have to be there. Tyee Propane/Diesel stops by once every ¼ to check fuel levels and then sends out your bill in the mail.

THE DOCK - The concrete float is approximately 40 feet in length x 12 feet wide, useable on both sides. The location provides both deep water and protection. It is securely anchored and has further room for expansion if one needs to add to its length. Power and water have been run to the dock. The current owner plugs in his 33 foot Back Cove to keep his batteries up. A sturdy retractable aluminum ramp connects the float to a short pier then ashore.

PATIO/SUNDECK - Directly above the dock is a large sundeck equipped with power and fresh water. There is also a shower to wash off after a swim. The sundeck is a perfect place to come and relax at the end of the day with friends. Adjacent to the sundeck is a fire pit which would be perfect for roasting freshly picked oysters or marshmallows for the kids. 

GAZEBO - Constructed out of Log to blend with the other structures and is surrounded in glass. One can sit there comfortably even if the elements are less than perfect. The Gazebo is situated on the tip of the peninsula which is a great vantage point with an expansive view.
