Sunshine Coast Development Potential for sale: (Listed 2011-04-20)

150 acre property on BC’s Sunshine Coast on Nelson Island just north of Fearney Point with approximately 1312 feet of oceanfront facing east on Agamemnon Channel. The property has been selectively logged and the logging roads provide good access to the property from the water and to numerous excellent oceanfront and ocean view building sites. The owner has a foreshore lease for a dock large enough to accommodate a 60 ft boat. A temporary log float is in place to facilitate viewing the property.

Topography is ideal for development sloping gradually from the waterfront. The owner says the meadow at the south west corner of the property has running water and may potentially be turned into a pond. Considering the natural features of the property, it is expected that sourcing domestic water and the installation of septic systems should not be difficult, however this must be confirmed by the buyer.

Current zoning provides for a minimum property size of 4 ha or 10 acres which would limit the number of potential lots for subdivision to about 13 or 14 unless it is rezoned. Under the current zoning properties exceeding 4 hectares are allowed 3 dwellings. In discussion with the Sunshine Coast Regional District it was suggested that it may be necessary to provide a staging area for parking on the mainland in order to receive subdivision approval. The property location is excellent for recreational use or as a full time residence with transportation, services and amenities relatively close by. There are several other properties that have been subdivided on Nelson Island and nearby islands with strong demand for both large and smaller properties in the area.
