$2,695,000. Canadian A Premier Quadra Island Property!
Without question this is one of the most magnificent and significant privately owned acreage estates on Quadra Island and within the entire Discovery Island region. Bold Point is a 49.75-acre peninsula located on the Eastern shore of Quadra Island fronting the waters of Hoskyn Channel to the East and Crescent Channel to the West, with a due South orientation.
	This stunning property provides ultimate privacy in a splendid setting that has a diverse range of beautiful natural features as well as exceptional and valuable benefits that only this location can provide. It also has unique history as it was once one of the destinations for the historical BC Steamships that travelled the Coast in the late 1800's through to the early 1900's.
The advantages of this location and the improvements begin with good quality, gravel road access from Bold Point Rd. Electric and telephone service comes in from the road a portion of the way to the meadow above ground and from there is routed underground to service the main residence and guest cabin. As you enter along the meandering driveway through the forest, you first come to a significant 24 / 50 ft, 3 bay, over height shop with a full concrete floor.
	This building has power and water, is fully insulated and provides more than adequate storage as well as housing the equipment required for the domestic water service. Domestic water comes from a 300 ft. drilled well next to the shop, which produces an exceptional 10 gpm.
As one continues down the driveway, it divides as you come to a fabulous meadow and the garden. This is a small area in proportion to the entire property that has been cleared and groomed to provide a nice grassed area with an orchard as well as a very extensive, magnificent flower and vegetable garden.
	The garden has been selected as one of ten Quadra gardens featured in the 2008 garden tour. A substantial pond is located at the South end of the meadow, which is not only an attractive natural feature but also provides for a significant water reservoir for back up irrigation as well as emergency (fire) purposes.
The main residence, located just East of the meadow is a sprawling rancher providing about 2500 sq.ft., on one-level perched atop a massive flat rock outcrop approximately 40 feet above and 100 feet back from the ocean.
	Situated in a totally natural setting, this one-of-a-kind home provides spacious, and comfortable, quality accommodations with lots of natural light. All rooms face the ocean and have access to a full width patio deck that stretches across the entire front of the home, which measures 114 ft. From the expansive deck there are stairs down to a lower deck, which incorporates a built-in hot tub. Simply a wonderful place!
The centrepiece to this home is the spacious great room. The unique design incorporates large logs and framed construction. The vaulted ceiling fans up and out towards the front of the living area with an expansive 40 ft of windows capturing the view. This centrepiece space combines a generous living room with a cozy woodstove surrounded by a stone hearth, an open kitchen functionally laid out with a large centre island and sit down bar for easy entertaining as well as a roomy dining area.
	The North wing includes the master bedroom plus a second bedroom both with their own full, private ensuite. The South side includes a full bathroom, walk in pantry, plus an additional room which functions as a private study/third bedroom with built in bunk beds. At the far end is a separate family, entertainment room. The layout is functional and takes in all the benefits of this great location and also provides for privacy for families with children or large groups.
The Guest Cottage is located southwest of the meadow. There is a groomed, grassed path significant enough for vehicle access, which leads you to the Guest Cottage, perched along the shoreline overlooking the protected moorage and down Crescent Channel.
	This quaint, well-built cottage provides a studio space with one large, open living and sleeping area and a full private bathroom. The full width deck leads you down to the standing pier with an aluminum ramp to a 60 ft. dock.
The moorage location is exceptional. It is large enough to have accommodated vessels up to 80 ft. and is totally protected from all weather situations. There are full services to the cottage and dock.
	The property has a mixed and interesting topography ranging from moss and fern covered rock outcrops and bluffs to meadows and gently rolling forested areas as well as some dramatic topography along the shoreline. All but a small portion of the land is heavily forested with mature second growth consisting of primarily Fir, Cedar, and Hemlock. The shoreline stretches for almost a mile around the peninsula. Along Hoskyn Channel there are the remains of the old Steamship terminal and adjacent to this you can envision the remains of the location where an old hotel used to stand.
As you move along the Eastern shore the range of features include everything from low bank to high bank frontage, covered with beautiful forest, which includes some significant Arbutus trees. The views across Hoskyn Channel and towards Read Island to the East are 180degrees. This is a very serene and picturesque coastal setting.
	The Southern tip is a bold granite outcrop and as you come around to the West and enter Crescent Channel the setting and situation couldn't be more distinctive. There are a few little peninsulas and islets at high water that form part of this property in addition to a picturesque little bay that accommodates some of the best deepwater, well-protected, moorage that any mariner could desire. Only a stones throw away is Bold Island, which forms Crescent Channel and is the backdrop to this picturesque, intimate setting.
It is a challenge to describe this property and location in such a way for one to fully appreciate what a premier place this really is. Not only is it a great jumping off point to explore and enjoy the Discovery Islands region, it is possible to catch fin fish and gather clams, oysters and prawns literally at your doorstep.
	Killer whales and other marine mammals pass through Hoskyn Channel, in addition to an abundance of bald eagles, hawks, and seabirds that are resident neighbours plus the many deer that make this property their home. These are just some of the daily sights and experiences one can enjoy.
