The Opportunity
Overview
A peaceful and picturesque location for your off-grid retreat. Busby Island is located across from Quadra Island off the southwest tip of Sonora Island and is part of the popular Owen Bay area. Conveniently located within the Discovery Islands region, this central location has great access to some of the best fishing and wildlife viewing this region has to offer. Owen Bay is a small coastal hamlet with a few full-time residents as well as being a popular vacation area for people looking to relax and enjoy this Discovery Islands region. This 1.62 acre oceanfront property is situated on the protected eastern shore of Busby Island, directly across from Sonora Island. The property is accessed from the internal road on Busby Island. There is public beachfront access to this internal common road in four places. The property is level at the internal road access, with easy access through the forest. It slopes up gradually to a bluff overlooking the oceanfront and the intriguing inside tidal waters of Busby. It then slopes moderately steep down to approx. 219ft of oceanfront, forested right to the ocean’s edge. The waters on this side of the island can go almost dry at very low tides and it is possible to walk to and from the Owen Bay road on Sonora Island. A rough trail on the northern property boundary leads down to the oceanfront. The protected waters there are good for swimming in the summer, warming up nicely in a rocky pool out front of the property and providing an idyllic spot to relax on a sunny day. Zoning permits the building of a primary residence as well as a secondary cabin (up to 80 square metres), providing lots of options for building and using this property. (id:61970)
