Summary :
|
|
Hardy Island is one of the most desirable recreational oceanfront locations in all of BC because of its easily accessible location and its beautiful natural surroundings. We have been selling properties on Hardy Island for years and can say that this property is one of the best.
The property encompasses part of a protected peninsula that has spectacular views of Copper Island, Eagle Island and Telescope Pass. What makes this property special is that it has a large amount of useable land and ocean frontage compared to similar properties. It also gets great sun exposure.
A lot of time and money has already been spent on the property with multiple building sites to choose from. The zoning permits the construction of two homes. With 1,498 ft of oceanfront, it is possible to have two homes overlooking the water private from each other, making this an excellent group or family purchase. A lot of important initial improvements have been done making the next step of building easier and cost effective for a new owner.
A road has been built from the dock to the back of the property providing access to the Island’s internal road network where you can exercise, explore or visit neighbours. Machinery can also be brought in on this road from one of the Islands designated landing sites.
There is a large level area that has been cleared and improved on the point of the peninsula. This area would be a great future building site. A few steps away in the trees there is a rustic 10x10 cabin overlooking the ocean to utilize while you build. Water lines from the well have already been piped down to this area.
Although this is a water access only property, services, material and contractors are only a short distance away.
The marina at Saltery Bay on the upper Sunshine Coast is only a 5-10 minute boat ride away. The community of Powell River is a 25-minute drive from Saltery Bay where services and all amenities are available.
Egmont on the lower Sunshine Coast is a 35-minute boat ride away on the Sechelt Peninsula. Many Hardy Island residents come in their boats directly from Vancouver. The trip takes approximately a couple of hours depending on the speed of your boat.
This property must be seen in person to appreciate. Call Jamie or Jason to arrange a viewing today!

Hardy and Nelson Island
Hardy Island is a very popular destination because of its easy access from Vancouver. It is within a 5-10 minute boat ride from Saltery Bay Marina on the mainland. Within a 25-minute drive from Saltery Bay is the community of Powell River, which gives you access to all major services, including three major grocery stores, Walmart, two major building supply stores, hospital, restaurants and a municipal airport for regional transportation, in addition to a whole lot more.
Hardy Island is also unique because there are no mountains or major elevation rises, so most properties have excellent sunlight year-round for all residents. There is an internal road network which connects all the properties and most neighbors visit by quad or side-by-side. The road provides a great place to stretch your legs and get some exercise. Children will love it as a place to explore, build forts and ride bikes.
Typically, there are no predatory animals on the Islands, which provides a safe environment for all to use and enjoy.
Hardy Island is named after Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy. It is a sanctuary well sought after for its natural beauty, privacy, sheltered warm waters and abundance of marine wildlife. It is a recreational retreat that is easily accessed in a short period of time. Nelson Island is named after Viscount Horatio Nelson, the hero of the British Navy, and sits at the mouth of Jervis Inlet guarding the secrets of Prince of Wales Reach and Queens Reach.
Both Islands are famous with the yachting crowd for the scenery and anchorages in Blind Bay and Telescope Pass. The area has a lot to offer and is one of the few spots on the coast where you can feel the presence of the towering Coast Mountains while experiencing the expanse of the Strait of Georgia. It is a region with a mild, dry and semi-Mediterranean climate.
