Offering the nature lovers dream retreat property! This amazing property would also be ideal for a group purchase for eco village or planned community as this special property’s current zoning allows for up to 6 dwellings. It is an ideal place for a model eco village as the zoning allows for residential use, agriculture, silviculture and cottage industry and the property is easy to access off the main road. It would also be a wonderful retreat property for an individual buyer interested in living in the heart of a protected forest and being the custodian of this unique forest ecosystem. The property has protective covenants to safe guard the integrity of the forest and its many diverse habitats.
The awe inspiring 80 acres features an impressive forest with many micro systems including old growth snags and trees, two very active wetlands, cedar groves, rock outcroppings with moss and fern gardens, open sunny areas plus deep west coast forest, light and open undercover or dense salal and Oregon grape undercover with forest surprises like orchids and mushrooms. Wildlife abounds with the sound of frog song in the spring, song birds, owls and other tree top inhabitants. The many ground based creatures are much quieter but there is evidence of them everywhere. A family of otters raise their family every year in one of the wet lands, there is a cougar scratch tree plus deer and wolf signs are evident. It is hard not to feel the magic when walking on any of the many wildlife trails.
This property is easy to access from the main road yet not three minutes in to the forest and you feel like you are in the middle of wilderness. Services are at the road and currently there is a small roughed in driveway to the bottom part of the property with an old network of skid trails to the back of the property. The property is located within easy walking distance of Gorge Harbour and the marina and a short drive to the ferry. Whether it is for personal enjoyment or creating a community within nature this property is sure to please
