Zeballos, 202 & Lot 18 Pandora Cres

Looking over the Zeballos River, in the Village of Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island, this property provides an opportunity for someone wanting to move to the west coast, or to establish a summer base for fishing and exploring in this beautiful coastal region.

The small coastal hamlet of Zeballos is located approximately 14 nautical miles from the Pacific Ocean and one of the premier fishing regions on Vancouver Island. It is 17 nautical miles from Tahsis, a small coastal community in the neighbouring inlet to the south. People regularly visit for kayaking, mountain biking and hiking.

The property is in the heart of the Village, nestled at the foot of the mountains which surround this coastal village. It has BC Hydro electrical service as well as domestic water from the Village of Zeballos and a septic system.

With just over half an acre on the two lots, this property offers some good options. Currently one lot has the house and shop while the other lot has a boat shelter and parking on it.

The 850sqft rancher offers 3 bedrooms, one bathroom, living room, kitchen and nook, with two entryways. A covered porch and entryway welcomes you from the gravel parking out front and a small gate leads to the backyard. A driveway runs along one side of the home to the back of the property.

The rancher was originally built in 1935 but has been upgraded over the years. It features a metal roof and shake wood siding. There is a crawl space under the home accessed from outside.

The living room features wood flooring and a woodstove with tile and brick surround. A large, coved entrance leads from the living room into the bright kitchen. The floors are mixed throughout, with newer laminate in the bedrooms and vinyl in the bathroom. Another porch runs along the back of the home, providing covered space for bbq, bikes, patio furniture, etc.

The 600sqft wired workshop is partially finished on the outside, but is secure with 2 doors and windows. There is a small, separate room with laundry facilities in the workshop and the rest is open workshop/garage space. There is a wood stove in the shop.

There is ample parking along one side of the home. The yard is fenced at the front and partially on the side. There are rock wall garden beds along the side between the two lots and grassed lawn along the side and back.

The second lot is slightly elevated above the first lot. It has separate driveway access with ample parking for truck and trailer. A covered boat shed is set back from the road. This lot is serviced with BC Hydro and water.

Zeballos is on the west coast of Vancouver Island, accessed by road from Hwy 19 just north of Woss. This is a Forest Service gravel road and can be in varying condition throughout the year. The community of Zeballos first started with gold miners, and then became a logging hub. Now its biggest draw is tourism - as coastal explorers and fishermen come to visit the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island. There is both fresh water and salt water fishing, as the Zeballos River runs through town. The community has a population of approximately 125 and there are limited services, including a medical clinic, general store, marina and boat fuel sales. In the summer there are a number of accommodation options. Zeballos calls itself the Golden Gate to the West Coast. It offers access to Nootka Sound and the fishing on the west coast of the island, as well as the provincial parks of the northern Island (Woss, Brooks Peninsula, Cape Scott).
