20 acre property with a 1316sqft home built in 2020 plus accessory buildings, on beautiful Lasqueti Island, off the southwest coast of Texada Island and halfway between the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island in the Strait of Georgia. The driveway provides access to two clearings – a lower one with a tiny home and a bunkie, and an upper one with the main residence and shop. The inviting rancher features open living space with a vaulted ceiling finished with pine tongue-and-groove, skylights and attractive vinyl plank flooring that flows through all the main spaces of the home. Most of the fir beams and lumber were cut and milled on the island. The primary bedroom has access to the back deck where there is a wood-fired hot tub. This home is turnkey ready, with a dual solar and stream generator power system that is backed up by a gas generator, propane appliances, water treatment, and hot water on demand. The WETT certified wood stove adds warmth and ambience. This is a great opportunity for a well-built, easy care island residence. Additional buildings include the 500sqft shop with power, a one room tiny house with power, a bunkie (no services), and the powerhouse for the main residence systems. Crown land on one side of the property ensures privacy. There are central roads for access across the island, and many residents barge a vehicle over to facilitate getting around. The seller’s mooring buoy in False Bay, and pick up truck on the island, are included in this offering. There is walk-on ferry service from Vancouver Island, although most residents use boats as well, mooring in False Bay on the north end or Squitty Bay on the south end. Like many of the Gulf Islands, Lasqueti has its own unique identity, and residents take pride in the services and lifestyle offered. From farmers markets to roadside stands, a firehall to a free store, a coffee shop, a gas station and a health care centre, Lasqueti offers all the amenities and services of rural island living.
