RARE 5-acre south-facing oceanfront lot with about FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY FEET OF BEACH...on beautiful Mudge Island, the only QUIET GULF ISLAND with hydro and internet, accessible by boat only, near Gabriola Island. This undeveloped property is magical with its big arbutus specimens, old fir and maples, and about 560' of beachfront with *fossiliferous* stone benches and sandstone formations! The high bank means FABULOUS VIEWS over a wide expanse of water known for whale activity - the neighbours send notifications when it's happening. The 180° views feature iconic Round Island in the foreground, and a panorama of many more islands and mountain ranges. The lot's upper section is about 3.33 acres of gentle mossy terraces; near the cliff edge there are steep game trails to the water, not too difficult for hikers - but access could be improved greatly with some trail building or a series of staircases amongst the big trees and lush platforms. This property is rare for being WIDE instead of deep; while other south-facing 5 acre parcels occur on Mudge, few have so many building site options, or such a wide beach front. And only one side of this lot borders a neighbouring property! A short dropoff just off shore is great for swimming (see photos). A Transport Canada compliant mooring system can be installed for the buyer, by the seller. There is power at the road. Membership at the Moonshine Cove Marina is offered separately by the seller.
