Watch the whales from the deck of this beautiful oceanfront residence overlooking Cramer Passage and across to Baker Island, in the heart of the Broughton Archipelago. Port McNeill is within approximately 25 nautical miles to the south on Vancouver Island. The 1150sqft home sits on a rocky outcrop of the island, surrounded by majestic west coast forest. Access is by boat, with included moorage on the east side of the island at Echo Bay Marina. The region is popular with boaters and kayakers, and this location offers a great launching spot in the bay beside the home to explore the shoreline and further afield. The classic west-coast chalet-style home features vaulted ceilings in the main living space, with a wall of windows looking out at the views and accessing onto the wood deck that spans the front of the home. The wood paneling brings nature inside, adding to the relaxing ambience that the setting creates. The main floor includes the open living space incorporating the living room, dining area and kitchen, one spacious bedroom with ocean views and two 3-piece bathrooms. The corner kitchen has ample cabinetry and an island for additional workspace. Stairs lead from the living room to an open loft currently set up very nicely as the primary bedroom. The home has all the modern touches as it has domestic water and electricity provided as part of the annual lease payment. A propane stove in the living room provides a cozy warmth in addition to the baseboard in-wall heaters. The deck connects to a walkway along the side of the home that then runs to a laundry and workshop/storage building behind the home, housing a full-size washer and dryer as well as a freezer and fridge, all electric. This building has a covered porch with room for a bbq and seating. Ownership is by way of a 99-year lease, with 85 years remaining. The annual lease fee of $6000 includes moorage at Echo Bay Marina on the other side of the island, as well as water, garbage and electricity. (id:62865)
