BC Landpro Group, LandQuest® Realty Corporation Marketing British Columbia To The World®
Comprehensive development opportunity fronting on one of the best sandy beaches on the Sunshine Coast. Southern exposed, highway frontage and 15 km from city centre. Includes community water system supply agreement. This is truly a rare offering.
We are very excited to bring this one-of-a-kind real estate asset that you will not find again to the open market.
It is located only 15 km south of the city centre of Powell River and 100 km north of Vancouver on the mainland. Powell River is a “Hot Spot” in BC with people moving to the region for a better quality of life and to live, work and play in a vibrant diversified community surrounded by world class natural amenities. The local real estate market is currently experiencing record low active listings and a development of this size is desperately needed.
A community water system supply agreement has been secured with the Lang Bay Community water system aiding in the future development of the property. The minimum parcel size when serviced by water systems and septic fields is one acre, depending on site conditions for septic installation. Further installation of a sewage treatment system may allow for higher density on sections of the property.
BC assessment records indicate the lot size to be 190.86 acres, with Highway 101 bisecting the property, and there is a right of way that reduces the site to 184± acres.
Approximately 40 acres of land located between the ocean and the highway is designated Suburban Residential, Commercial, and Institutional within the Official Community Plan (OCP). This land is flat and prime for such a development.
The balance of the land (approx. 144 acres) on the upland side of the highway is designated as Low Density Residential. There is further information on the OCP designations and subdivision information under the zoning link below. The land has a gentle southern slope from the rear boundary towards the highway and the soil conditions look favourable for economical development. Under the maps section, please see the Lidar mapping with five metre contour intervals. The upland property will have good ocean views.
The land on either side of the property has been residentially developed. Lang Creek borders sections of the Northwest Boundary. Beyond the Northern Boundary is resource and unseeded lands. Weldwood Road runs up the East property boundary and a Forest Service access road provides direct access to numerous large freshwater lakes, mountains, glaciers, the Sunshine Coast Trail, and the Powell River Canoe Route. It is rare to have such an incredible beachfront property with direct access to an abundance of freshwater lakes and recreation only minutes away.
Approximately 985± ft of the property fronts onto sandy Mahood’s Beach, a local favorite as it is very similar to Tribune Bay on Hornby Island, which is rated as one of the top beaches in BC. The remaining balance of waterfront wraps around the majority of Wulfson Bay that is protected by a rock breakwater.
Within the protected Bay there is an 11 acre water lot with a Licence of Occupation. That Licence is held by current ownership for log storage and industrial use and commenced on October 22, 2001 for a term of 30 years, expiring in 2031.
There are not many opportunities like this left on the coast. Additional information is available upon request to qualified individuals. Contact Jason or Jamie to receive this information or to arrange a viewing.
