Sechelt Inlet, Earle Creek

This property is the historic Earle Creek forestry camp which serviced the logging industry in this region for decades.

An amazing 32-acre property with approximately 2200 ft of low bank, walk on shoreline. This SW facing oceanfront is located on the North shore of Sechelt Inlet just South of the Skookumchuk Narrows (sometimes referred to as Sechelt Rapids) with views down the Inlet and across to the Caren Mountains. It is 4 Km by boat from Egmont and approximately 30 Km from the town of Sechelt.

The topography is very complementary as half the property incorporating the entire shoreline is a nice & level area that graduates up to a second bench with a modest elevation that provides outstanding views over the entire property and area. The overall utility of the property is excellent and superior to most waterfront acreages in the region.

This historic retired forestry camp property would be ideally suited to a variety of uses. The improvements are substantial, they range in size from small cottages to full size homes and some for specific uses such as a cookhouse & dining hall and a fully equipped recreation hall. These buildings have been maintained in good repair and functional condition. There are a total of 13 buildings/structures on the property in addition to substantial foreshore improvements and moorage facilities completed to a commercial standard. This 32-acre property has bright sunny exposure, an abundant water supply and is situated in the heart of the Sechelt/Jervis Inlet region. It is simply impossible to appreciate everything that is included in this price until one actually visits the site.

Currently the property is zoned RU2 and the existing improvements are legal nonconforming. Some RV & campground development can be implemented under this zoning for example 110 – 120 RV and camping sites can be created. Rezoning of the property is certainly possible – there are a wide range of possibilities for future use - everything from a personal retreat to a development. As is the property could easily be transformed into a resort, vacation retreat, or wellness centre, and is certainly a great location and setup for a summer camp for special interest groups.

Historically this property was used as a forestry camp, one of many primary base camps throughout the Coast. This is a boat access only property, however it does have the benefit of being connected to the BC Hydro power grid and telephone from overhead lines. Water is sourced from wells located on site with the potential of sourcing more water from streams in the area. Sewage is managed by onsite septic systems.

The Seller is open minded and willing to consider proposals from serious, qualified individuals, joint ventures will be consider as well vendor financing. It is the Seller’s intention to register an access easement over a portion of this property to adjoining lands. Currently there are internal roads through this property connecting to roads beyond. The foreshore also provides the ability to load and offload equipment.

The Sunshine Coast is a region of the Southern Mainland of British Columbia just NW of Greater Vancouver. While populous and frequently visited by tourists it can be reached only by using BC Ferries, boat or sea plane; because of the steep rugged terrain no access roads have been built from the rest of the Province. The Sunshine Coast stretches along the NE shores of the Strait of Georgia from Howe Sound to Desolation Sound.
