Quatsino, Lot 10 Ingersoll

This 2.5 acre property is part of a larger development of 15 properties known as Ingersoll, on the south-east shoreline of Quatsino Sound approximately mid-way along the Sound to the open ocean from Coal Harbour. The location provides access to a number of substantial inlets and miles of shoreline to explore.

This boat access development also enjoys the benefit of limited Forest Service Road access from the village of Port Alice, near the head of Neroutsos Inlet. This is a great option for access and bringing building materials and equipment to the properties as there are public boat launch facilities in the village.

With approximately 200ft of very user-friendly low bank oceanfront providing views across Quatsino Sound and walk-on access to the rocky beach that runs the length of the development, this property is a welcome retreat from urban life. A common road provides access to the driveway and the internal road system, with another common road along the top of the property. A small complement of trees has been left around the cabin site.

A dry sleeping cabin sits near the beach, providing 840sqft of bright living space with 3 bedrooms and a central living room. Both the drywall and the roof were professionally installed, and the cabin is insulated. The majority of it is carpeted, with vinyl flooring in one room (eating area). A woodstove in the living space adds warmth. There is no water or septic in the cabin and no cooking facilities or bathroom facilities. However, with consultation with BC Housing this could likely be added. There are outlets for power and overhead lights in the living spaces, however the owners never installed a comprehensive power system. They have used a generator on occasion.

In addition to the cabin there are two small sheds providing additional storage space and a covered wood storage space. There is an easement to a shared well on Lot 12 as a domestic water source.

Licensed moorage facilities for the benefit of all property owners are included in this offering. 160 linear feet of extremely high quality all-weather dock facilities are in place and provide over 280 feet of dockside tie-up. There is a galvanized steel 10ft wide standing pier secured on steel pilings and concrete bases with a 6.5ft wide ramp leading down to the floating structure. This provides exceptional access that would easily accommodate the use of ATV or side by side vehicles.

This moorage installation is industrial grade and will have substantial longevity, and the entire marina is protected by a substantial breakwater which has recently been serviced and upgraded with steel flotation tanks. The license and moorage facilities are held in a society with each lot owner receiving the benefit of membership in the society and part-ownership, allowing owners to enjoy shared use of these substantial facilities. At the head of the dock there is a 66ft wide dedicated road right-of-way that will provide for easy access and parking.

Northwest Vancouver Island and Quatsino Sound is one of Vancouver Island’s remaining unspoiled wilderness locations as it is less known and under-utilized. The area offers something for all types of coastal enthusiasts. The word is out to the sport fishermen that this area is one of the best on the Coast for salmon fishing, as well as halibut, ling cod and yellow eye rockfish. Prawning and crabbing are readily accessible. Quatsino Sound has an amazing network of mid-island waterways and provides over 60 miles of exploring throughout Neroutsos Inlet, RupertInlet and Holberg Inlet.
