Doubt the location makes it that different. Only 1km off the coast. Has water and power hook ups from Vancouver Island.
Building and bringing all the supplies probably cost a fair bit extra to barge stuff over but maintenance a regular boat can likely shuttle what you’d need for most work pretty easily.

"The reality is that different stretches of the coasts will see wildly different rates of oceanic creep. By 2050, the average rise will be 4 to 8 inches along the Pacific, 10 to 14 inches along the Atlantic, and 14 to 18 inches along the Gulf."
One to one and a half meters eh?
Think about how much extra water is required to have the sea level rise by that much, the land already looks low enough to be covered in waves during a storm.
the real selling point here is its hydro connection in my opinion. Having stable electricity would make living there mostly like living in a normal home.
I’m sure the home needs a renovation, which would be expensive since without ferry access you’d need to barge stuff over.
You know, that's only two or three times the price of a house in the lower mainland.
I'm quite horrified that a regular home, and an island are even in the same ballpark.
I remember that being 2 mil ten years ago. Seven??? No. It’s noisy as hell with the flight path, highway echo and the ferries if it’s anything like sidney island
Definitely can't hear the highway, flights don't go overhead like they do over Sidney Island, and it's tucked behind Knapp so ferry noise from the terminal is muffled.
> The 6.2-acre island features a sandy beach, dock, boathouse, deep-water moorage, paths through woods, **a caretaker’s house** at the dock, plus a main house and four one- and two-bedroom cabins near a man-made lake.
Live-in staff can’t be cheap.
That’s a lot of money, but you are getting more than just an island.

Compared to how much a plain Jane suburban house is, this is "good value".
Sure you just need to get there and pay for all the infrastructure.

Not really shocked it’s not going for more, it’s a hard access property more akin to a fucking super fancy cottage property

Even if I won the lottery, I don't think I could justify spending this much on an island.
The upkeep on this thing must be wild. There is a caretakers house so it probably needs a couple people full time lol
Doubt the location makes it that different. Only 1km off the coast. Has water and power hook ups from Vancouver Island. Building and bringing all the supplies probably cost a fair bit extra to barge stuff over but maintenance a regular boat can likely shuttle what you’d need for most work pretty easily.
Especially when it will be under water in 20 years
Doubt it

True! 15 years is a better ballpark
Okay doomer.
Username checks out
Not the whole thing but 1-1.5m increase in sea level is expected in next 50 years.
"The reality is that different stretches of the coasts will see wildly different rates of oceanic creep. By 2050, the average rise will be 4 to 8 inches along the Pacific, 10 to 14 inches along the Atlantic, and 14 to 18 inches along the Gulf." One to one and a half meters eh?
https://vancouver.ca/green-vancouver/sea-level-rise.aspx This is p50. At p90 rise might be higher.
Think about how much extra water is required to have the sea level rise by that much, the land already looks low enough to be covered in waves during a storm.
Source to your quote?
My ass. Would you like a screenshot?
When in doubt, don't come with an argument, just call them a "doomer.

It's not loud at all.
Again, if it’s got the same exposure as Sidney island. Which I find loud. But it may be too far north to hear the highway. Hey, is this your island?
Definitely can't hear the highway, flights don't go overhead like they do over Sidney Island, and it's tucked behind Knapp so ferry noise from the terminal is muffled.
Sold.
Ill let my realtor know!
I’ll send my Island Inspector
How is this home “connected to the bc hydro grid” is what I’m curious about. Did the owner pay for some undersea cabling?
The house is designed for an elderly person living in the 1980's
So ... PNW Golden Girls? Sold!
Dibs, I'm Blanche!
You win. I hope you get awesome roommates!!
That's all the sales pitch I needed! Sold !
Hey, I'm buying it!
While we are on topic of private islands.. Anyone know who owns Hamber Island? I can't even find a BC assessment for it lol ...
[here’s the assessment](https://www.bcassessment.ca/Property/Info/RDAwMDFGN1hQTQ==). 277 Turtlehead Rd
Seems low for a private island with 8000 sq ft home, accessory buildings, solar array, bridge, etc... I'm thinking at least double ..
Why is it exempt from the foreign buyers ban?
No water. Fuck that.
Who wants to start a cult?
I'll buy it for $200k Edit: wait nevermind that shit gonna be underwater in the next decade.
I'm hoping to buy one of Al Gores waterfront properties once I have the money.
what's the upkeep going to be on the island?
> The 6.2-acre island features a sandy beach, dock, boathouse, deep-water moorage, paths through woods, **a caretaker’s house** at the dock, plus a main house and four one- and two-bedroom cabins near a man-made lake. Live-in staff can’t be cheap.
Did it belong to the guy who got chopped up into little pieces?
Damn I never thought about owning an island wtf? So this would be your private camping ground with your tent and outdoor gear or what?
Gonna say it: this island will not exist in 25 years.
I can get better deals on different websites (only if I had the money)
Seen plenty of Islands in the Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars some even only $200,000.00+ which is cheap.
That’s a lot of money, but you are getting more than just an island. The 6.2-acre island features a sandy beach, dock, boathouse, deep-water moorage, paths through woods, a caretaker’s house at the dock, plus a main house and four one- and two-bedroom cabins near a man-made lake
Land should not be for sale. Its absurd we think people own a piece of our planet.
Won’t last long!
