Overlooking the tranquil waters of Okeover Inlet, Penrose Estates is an appealing, semi-rural oceanfront residential neighbourhood comprised of leasehold properties in a peaceful and natural setting.

Okeover Inlet lays along the eastern shore of the Malaspina Peninsula, the top of which puts you at the doorstep of Desolation Sound, an absolutely spectacular and world-renowned marine park destination. Recreational opportunities abound from kayaking to cruising, feasting on oysters to catching and gathering a variety of seafood which is abundant in the area.

This .43 acre property has 76 feet of oceanfront and is approximately 260 feet deep. There is road access and the property benefits from community domestic water and sewer systems as well as electrical and phone service. There is some tasteful landscaping, however for the most part the land has been left in its natural state which includes some very large fir and cedar trees.

There is a drip irrigation system throughout the landscaped areas. As well there is a designated RV parking area with connections and a 7kw fully automated back up generator fueled with propane.

The 2633sqft West Coast cottage style residence is truly charming, with extensive cedar and other wood finishing treatments inside and out.
