Log Home for sale on Texada Island, British Columbia

   Texada Island is within 100 miles of the major city of Vancouver, BC, yet has the sense of belonging to a slower, gentler time and place. Located in the Strait of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the mainland, Texada is the largest of the Gulf Islands and has a population of approximately 1,200 year round residents. There is an airport, hotel, restaurants, gas station, and two general stores. Access by road is via ferry service from Powell River on 10 scheduled daily trips aboard the M.V. North Island Princess.
   The home is situated in the village of Van Anda on a selectively cleared 1.4 acre parcel; this home is nestled in the trees and retains a private atmosphere. Water is supplied from a community water system and there is a volunteer fire department on the island. With a relatively mild climate and moderate rainfall, the south-west corner of BC is becoming increasingly a retirement or get-away location.
   Built from hand picked 90 year old second growth fir logs harvested locally on Texada Island this home is above the ordinary. There are three levels and over 4,500 square feet of living space in the home. The main floor features a great room with a 20 foot cathedral ceiling and a view that looks over the ocean towards the snow capped Coast Mountains. The open floor plan also has a large chef’s kitchen and a dining area. The master bedroom is spacious and has its own full ensuite and walk-in closet as well as access to the wrap around deck.
   The upper floor is accessed via a curved log staircase where each of four bedrooms has its own full private bathroom. Views from these bedrooms include the ocean, mountains, and forests. The home has been operated as the Marble Bay Lodge B&B for the past 2 years, and the bedroom layout offers guests both privacy and convenience.
   The lowest level includes an enclosed garage, laundry area, plentiful storage, and room to develop. This level also has a large covered deck that is ideal for year round entertaining.
   Construction of the home started in 1994 with the shell finished by the end of the year. With the roof on and windows in, the home sat empty until 2002 when the present owner took on the task of finishing the home. This delay between construction and finishing allowed the logs to dry and shrink before any interior finishing was done.
   While the certified wood stove in the great room provides that traditional warm and cozy atmosphere, the home is also equipped with a modern electric boiler supplying hot water heating throughout the home. Zoned for individual control, this system will run silently in the back ground whether you are home or away.
   The self-contained cozy one bedroom cottage on the property is an ideal rental unit or could become a caretaker’s residence for an absentee owner. Asking $650,000 CDN.
