W-480 Quatsino Rd, Quatsino

Forested property on Quatsino Rd, with access to power lines, in the community of Quatsino on Vancouver Island’s north-west coast. This 39 acre property was logged and replanted over 40 years ago. The forest is in a healthy state of regeneration with hemlock, as well as alder, fir, spruce and cedar. Two creeks cross this property from west to east, running diagonally from the upper west corner. The topography is fairly level, with gradual incline towards the back of the property. The property has one small panhandle section which borders Quatsino Rd and faces across to the oceanfront on the other side of the road. Utility lines run through the north-east quarter of the property, and an access road also runs through the upper portion of the property.This south-facing property provides a great opportunity to create a homestead, with trees for lumber and potential water sources on the two creeks, along with road access and the ability to bring in electricity from the BC Hydro power grid if desired. The property could also be an opportunity for an investment or possibly for subdivision into smaller acreages. Two large acreages to the east of this property are also being offered for sale, creating the opportunity for a substantial investment in forested land in Quatsino. Zoning currently allows for one residence on the property, as well as additional cabins of 400sqft for each 2 acres. Quatsino is a small coastal village with a small core of permanent residents and a number of seasonal residents. The village is serviced with BC Hydro electricity and telephone service, and there is a government dock in Bergh Cove. There is generally good cell service in the community. Access is by water from either Coal Harbour or Port Alice, on Vancouver Island’s north-west coast. (id:1945)
