Unique Coastal Retreat
Perched on a bluff overlooking Desolation Sound, this exceptional Cortes Island retreat offers a rare coastal lifestyle surrounded by forest and panoramic ocean views. The beautifully crafted 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home offers 2,225 sq. ft. including loft, with tiered decks embracing the spectacular setting. A separate 448 sq. ft. studio provides sleeping accommodation, bathroom and kitchen sink, while the 915 sq. ft. arts building features a dance studio, sleeping loft, bathroom and pottery space. A kayak shelter sits steps from the shore and a fenced garden adds to the lifestyle. Built by local craftspeople using timber harvested from the land, the property reflects a deep connection to its surroundings. Set within a 152-acre cooperative zoned Community Land Stewardship, extensive protections preserve the ecosystem. Ownership is through a co-op share, including use of shared waterfront lands and amenities, with private mooring buoys available to shareholders
