Robertson Island Lot 3

5.52 oceanfront acres on Robertson Island in Skidegate Inlet which divides Graham and Morseby Islands, the largest of the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) with 296ft of frontage on the south facing shore and 220ft of frontage on the north facing shore for a total of 516 ft of oceanfront. The 42-acre, island is subdivided into 8 lots. Each property is unique and private and there is the comfort and peace of mind that currently 5 of the 8 properties on Roberson Island are occupied year round. Each property straddles the island providing relatively low bank, easy access oceanfront on both the north and south sides of the island.

This beautiful property has been nicely developed; approximately 1 acre has been cleared and manicured to lawn and the balance is timbered. Here is located a very attractive, contemporary country home which offers a total of 1900 sq ft of comfortable living space – 1200 sqft downstairs and 700 sqft upstairs consisting of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The large, covered front porch and the second floor dormers add to the charm. The home sits on a poured concrete foundation with a 4 foot crawl space. Construction is 2x6 framing of exterior walls. The home is nicely appointed throughout – the bright open living spaces include some open vaulted ceilings, lots of windows and French doors leading to the ocean-side deck from the dining area. The entry way and the bathroom are tile with in floor hot water radiant heat.

Other nice features include a claw foot tub, JOTUL wood stove in the living room, telephone and internet service, 600 sqft wood/tool shed, and a path light from the house to the beach.

One exceptional benefit is that these properties have direct hardwired electrical service, domestic 200amp electrical service (NOTE: the hydro system is privately owned by the Robertson Island property owners, with approximately $300/year administration fees. Power is supplied at the same rates as QC city.) Domestic water is from a 250 ft drilled well and there is a septic system in place to manage waste water

Waterfront like this is hard to find in the Haida Gwaii Archipelago (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands). Robertson Island is included within the boundaries of Queen Charlotte City yet it offers the privacy and seclusion of small island living. Robertson Island is separated from Graham Island by a narrow passage of water which can be crossed in a small boat or on foot at low tides. A schedule of restrictions is in place to maintain the quality of development on the island which will protect your investment.

Robertson Island is located 5 minutes by boat from the Village of Queen Charlotte and 45 minutes by boat to world class fishing on the West coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands.

Graham Island to the north and Moresby Island to the south are the two largest islands of a group of 1,884 islands in the “Galapagos of the North” archipelago just south of the Alaska panhandle. A 20-minute ferry ride connects Graham and Moresby Islands. The islands are relatively isolated, recreation and native culture being the main attractions. Sport fishing, hiking, camping, kayaking, boating, whale watching, beachcombing and sightseeing are the major recreational activities. Marine and wildlife diversity of the surrounding waters and forests make it an ecological marvel.

The economy is largely resource-based with logging, commercial fishing, mining, and tourism being the main industries.

Access to the Queen Charlotte Islands is by ferry from Prince Rupert on the BC Mainland, by air from Vancouver to Sandspit and by air from Prince Rupert to Sandspit. Chartering of private planes or boats is also an option. Sandspit airport is situated on Moresby Island and may be easily accessed within approximately half an hour.
