Protection Island building lot, 9000 sqft in the forest, with undeveloped parkland behind. Tucked into a quiet little cul-de-sac with nice homes, this lot is quite level with a gentle rise at the back. There's a BC Hydro power pole at the front corner, and City of Nanaimo water and sewer services at the other. Mature second-growth fir & cedar trees provide shade and a woodsy aesthetic. As for location, this is just a 660m walk from the hourly passenger ferry or 700m from the boat ramp, or 515m from the community dock. Protection Island has a quiet Gulf Island vibe with seabird sounds and lots of beaches, but it's only 1.2km from downtown Nanaimo, across the protected harbour. Wouldn't you like to be on the water more often? (Protection Island is exempted from the BC Speculation Tax. All lot lines indicated are approximations. Lot dimensions are about 75' wide x 120'.)
