Quatsino Sound,
Parcel A, Hecate Cove

This 50-acre north island property is located in Hecate Cove, Quatsino Sound. It provides approximately 500ft of low bank oceanfront and also has a lake on the property approximately 6 acres in size with resident cutthroat trout and migrating salmon. There is a diverse topography, from low bank frontage to higher bluff portions with great views over Hecate Cove, as well as a lakeside setting.

The acreage was recently logged with a selection of standing mature trees left along the foreshore and other areas, and the logged areas have been completely replanted with fir, cedar, hemlock and spruce. The property also has the benefit of a good internal road network which comes off the main local road that bisects the property.

There are no septic or water services, however the community of Quatsino is serviced with electricity and telephone along the main road and there is good cell phone service. The local road is approximately 8kms and provides access from one end of the Village of Quatsino to the other and to facilities such as the Government Dock in Bergh Cove, the post office, and the newly constructed trail head on the opposite shores of Hecate Cove, taking you to a nice little day camping and picnic area on the shores of Colony Lake, which provides great fishing.

The zoning on the property is RR-1 Rural Residential which provides for future development opportunities, allowing for subdivision of the property down to 2 acre lots, providing health authority and other department regulations are met. Zoning allows for the construction of a principal residence, as well as a 400sqft cottage for each 2 acres of land, making this a good consideration for a business opportunity or development opportunity or possibly a group purchase.

Quatsino Sound is located on the northwest end of Vancouver Island and is accessible only by water or float plane. Boat launch facilities and water taxi are available 5 miles away in Coal Harbour, which is a 20 minute drive from Port Hardy on paved road. Port Hardy provides essential and convenient services including: a municipal airport with flights from Vancouver and Calgary and ferry service connection North to Prince Rupert.

Quatsino Sound is the most northerly of the large inlets on the West Coast of Vancouver Island and leads to the open Pacific Ocean above Brooks Peninsula. This is a fantastic region for sport fishing due to the numerous runs of salmon offshore from April to September in addition to the excellent bottom fishing for halibut, lingcod, and yellow eye Snapper.

This is in addition to a number of freshwater systems that are brimming with trout, the beautiful natural surroundings and abundance of marine and other wildlife including beaver, black bear, deer and various indigenous bird species throughout the region. Kayaking and diving are also popular in the area.
