Listing Description

Half acre oceanfront lot overlooking beautiful, gentle Herring Bay on the desirable northwest corner of Ruxton Island just outside of Nanaimo. This high bank VIEW lot perches safely atop a narrow promontory that extends northward like the head of a dragon, flanked by fingers of rock that become sandy havens at lower tides. Herring Bay has lots of moorage, sandstone formations, and a beach at the south end with access to the island's system of ''roads''. There is plenty of room to build on this lot: The topography starts high at the road, drops down a short stone bank to a shallow protected depression, then rises again slightly to form a wide shelf above the water. A wooden staircase would be ideal. There is oak and fir and arbutus, salal berries, innumerable rock plants and sweet smelling mosses. A community well is nearby. Ruxton Island is completely off-grid with no ferry service, making it one of the last great peaceful undeveloped islands - though it's just 20km from downtown Nanaimo. (29640206)
