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. It also happens to be the best place on Bowen to see the Northern Lights.
This special property is on the market only for the 2nd time - its history goes back to the early days of Endswell Farm. The original cabin was lifted and added onto significantly with a full concrete perimeter foundation, creating a home that is a total of just over 3000 sf including a 1300 sf unfinished walkout basement with 9’ ceilings and separate entry. Bring your renovation plans and create your ultimate island vacation home.
The house sits closer to the water than any of the neighbouring homes, and when you’re on the front deck (that runs the full length of the house) 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, just under ½ acre is on the water side of the road. The remainder of the property is treed and sloped with a 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.
