Hardy Island lot 45 is a truly magical 12.8-acre property with over 1000 feet of low bank west facing (evening sunset) waterfront. The only owner has meticulously designed and constructed a home and cottage that seamlessly blends into the breathtaking landscape. The 2000 sq. ft, 2 bedroom- 2-bathroom home has large open gathering spaces. Your first impression is one of light and perfectly placed trees. Features include radiant floor heat, fir and slate floors, 2 wood burning fireplaces, diesel generator, solar panels and batteries, 2 wells, if you must good internet connection, and an outdoor kitchen that simply makes you want to cook for family and friends. Tucked perfectly behind the main house is a 550 sq. ft. 1-bedroom cottage with its own kitchen, bathroom and fireplace, this hideaway could easily be converted into 2 bedrooms. Your guests can start their morning coffees here. Tucked amongst the trees and oriented to ensure huge water views are 2 tent platforms for when you have that big gathering, there is even an outhouse. The 10 x20 deep-water dock has a whimsical bridge connecting to the property. RU-1 zoning permits a second dwelling. Swim in the honestly warm waters of the bay. All of this is a morning trip from Vancouver. Come join the Hardy Island community.
