Description

One of the most stunning settings on Bowen Island is on the Northwest side, where landscapes of nearby islands create picture-perfect Pacific Northwest vignettes. The house sits closer to the water than any of the neighbouring homes, and when you´re on the front there are uninterrupted, and ever-changing views from Keats Island and the Sunshine Coast, to nearby Hutt Island and Gambier Island, and mountains to the north. There are steps that lead right down to a sheltered bay where there´s the potential to add a dock. Sitting on 3.3 acres, divided by Mount Gardner Road, there are couple of flat benches where you might be able to build a 2nd home. Living on the water here is a nature lover´s dream come true. Whether it´s pulling out the binoculars hoping for a glimpse of frequently sited Orcas, or jumping on your paddleboard and checking out the sea life in the intertidal zone, or simply going for a moonlight swim, you´ll be in awe with the wonder that surrounds you in beautiful Galbraith Bay.
