W-345 Quatsino Rd

Forested property on Quatsino Rd, with access to power lines, in the community of Quatsino on Vancouver Island’s north-west coast. The 52 acres were logged over 40 years ago, the land was replanted and the forest is in a healthy state of regeneration. It includes hemlock as well as alder, fir, spruce and cedar. There are two creeks on the property, which join into another stream which enters the property at the lower west boundary and exits at the southern boundary. The south-facing property has two small panhandle sections which border Quatsino Rd. There is gated access on the western side for security, although the logging roads on the property are quite overgrown. These lead through the property to both the northern and eastern boundaries. The topography is fairly level, with a gradual incline towards the north and east boundaries. This property provides a great opportunity to create a homestead, with trees for lumber, some ocean views and potential water sources on the two creeks, along with road access and the ability to bring in electricity from the BC Hydro power grid if desired. The property could also be an opportunity for an investment or possibly for subdivision into smaller acreages. Two large neighbouring acreages are also being offered for sale, creating the opportunity for a substantial investment in forested land in Quatsino. Zoning currently allows for one residence on the property, as well as additional cabins of 400sqft for each 2 acres. Quatsino is a boat access community in Quatsino Sound, approximately 5 nautical miles from Coal Harbour. Port Alice is another popular boat launch point.

The village is serviced with BC Hydro electricity and telephone service, and there is a government dock in Bergh Cove. There is generally good cell service in the community. (id:53361)
