Two titles in one offering, each with road access, providing lots of opportunity! With an appealing 2 bedroom rancher on one side and a cabin on the other side, this residential property is an excellent consideration.
The property is situated in Zeballos, a small oceanfront village on the north-west coast of Vancouver Island surrounded by mountains and water. The small coastal hamlet 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 Zeballos and the region not just for fishing but also for kayaking, mountain biking and hiking.
The property is easy walking distance to the river and estuary, perfect for walks and for launching kayaks just across the street. The flat, cleared lot has a fenced backyard, with the two residences on either side. There is an additional shed for storage. The west facing backyard is the perfect spot for a garden and outdoor enjoyment.
The 1137sqft main residence is an appealing wood siding rancher, with an attached deck on one side. The home was extensively renovated in around 2010, including updated power and plumbing. The wood stove was installed in 2014 and there is a one-year old hot water tank.
The front door opens into a bright entrance separate from the living space. The modern living space features laminate flooring and an inviting wood stove in one corner. The open concept space has a large kitchen area with lots of cabinetry for storage and a central island with sink and bar seating on one side. Attractive lighting and plenty of windows provide good lighting throughout. The dining area next to the kitchen leads to small mudroom with a door out to the large side deck.
Down the hall from the living space are 2 bedrooms, a 3-piece bathroom and a laundry room. The home is bright, clean and turnkey ready to move into.
On the far side of the property, off Pandora Ave, is a vinyl-sided cabin with loft. This approx. 412sqft home has also been renovated. Power and water are currently connected underground from the main residence. The cabin is set up as a studio suite currently, with open concept living space and a bathroom. There is a sink with cabinetry and a fridge on one wall of the space with living room opposite. This space offers many opportunities! The entryway has storage plus the stairs to the loft. The loft has very low ceilings but could be used as a play area or for storage.
With two titles and two buildings with two access points, this property offers great potential for a variety of uses.
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).
