Two hundred and twenty-four acres on Baynes Sound - a scale, and a shoreline, that Vancouver Island's east coast rarely offers.
Lot 1 Wavell Road runs from tidewater to timber: roughly 2.8 kilometres of natural ocean boundary above the eelgrass flats of Mud Bay, open hayfields and cultivated ground behind, a freshwater pond, stands of mature fir and cedar, and the Beaufort Range filling the western sky. Deer, geese, and the oyster leases of Canada's shellfish capital just offshore.
Pristine, on one title, outside the floodplain, with five drilled wells already serving the fields. 2025 taxes: $1,111.67.
Within the ALR, and large enough to permit a principal residence to 500m2 (~5000+sqft) plus a detached second dwelling to 186m2 (~2000+sqft) without Commission application. Hay, livestock, orchard, silviculture, agri-tourism.
Cumberland 21 minutes, Courtenay 26, the Denman ferry moments north.
A generational landholding, rarely equalled.More details
