Magical oasis upon the Salish Sea. Amazing waterfront .43-acre property directly neighbouring the white sandy beach of Pilot Bay on Gabriola Island. A barefoot jaunt across the road leads to matching white sand of Taylor Bay; back-to-back the Bays (along with the Malaspina Galleries) make up the Gabriola Sands Provincial Park. Dream big while bunking down in rustic, but sweet seaside cabin; enjoy the charm of yesteryear where days were long & families gather. One bedroom cottage with small kitchen, living-dining-room, and lovely deck with beautiful sunrises. Only steps to the beach where the kids have a safe, shallow, protected Bay to spend days swimming & splashing alongside eagles, seals, otters, and more! 5-minute drive to ferry, a variety of shops, and the Farmers’ Market. Gabriola Island is a short ferry ride from downtown Nanaimo and home to 4,500 permanent residents who have created a haven of creativity community. Rare opportunity to live amid nature and plan for possibilities!
