Ocean Views Views from Ocean Boathouse Property Views |
Maple Bay, on Vancouver Island, has an appealing "east coast" seaside atmosphere, yet
enjoys the drama of the west coast. With year round moorage, and with the ambiance of a
Gulf Island, but without that extra ferry, Maple Bay has enjoyed an appeal for several
years. Wonderful lowbank oceanfront point of land, known to sailors as "Paddy's Point", located right at the opening of Maple Bay itself, enjoys 2000+ ft of oceanfront, mostly "low bank", bays and coves, with year round moorage potential at the dock. Exposures are east, south, & west, and provide sunrises & sunsets year round, with wrap-around views. There is an authentic 1912 era Edwardian cottage plus a boathouse (with a suite above), from the 40s, on the property. These structures hark back to another era in the Maple Bay history. The property is almost 10 acres and is a mix of meadow, & pristine coastal forest, consisting of magical Cedar groves, Fir, Hemlock, Maple, Alder, & majestic stands of mature Arbutus. Walk the mossy trails created in the 1920's & 1930's. This is totally unspoiled land! With arable potential, one can be totally self-sufficient, here. This property has been in the same family since 1900, and is wonderfully unspoiled. It's very rare to find such a property, anywhere, and this one enjoys all the allure of Southern Vancouver Island's microclimate. An easy commute to Victoria from here! Totally irreplaceable & truly a rare commodity! Note: Maple Bay offers a "Gulf Island" ambiance, without the necessity of a ferry, and it is one of those protected moorage enclaves coveted by a boater. The property has a private road access, and is just minutes by boat from either the Maple Bay Yacht Club or the Birds Eye Cove marina. Your choice! This is true estate style property.
