About this home

This southwest-facing property, situated on a gentle slope, offers panoramic views of Sproat Lake and Sproat Lake Provincial Park. Located near the mouth of the Sproat River, it is one of the closest properties to town. Both the upper and lower levels of the home provide exceptional vistas of the lake. The main level includes three bedrooms, a primary bathroom, and an ensuite. The kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom open onto an expansive upper deck that highlights the remarkable scenery. The lower level features a fourth bedroom, a three-piece bathroom, laundry room, a spacious family room, and roughed-in plumbing for a summer kitchen. Owned by the same family for 65 years, the property also includes a bunkhouse with power and a tool shed. The waterfront boasts a quality beach area with a firepit and 2 extra-large docks with western exposure for long leisurely summer days and stairs into the water. Mature trees, including seven second-growth cedar and several firs, create a canopy frequently visited by eagles. Occupying 0.52 acres, the property allows for the possible addition of a shop with ACRD approval. Conveniently located, this residence is approximately 11 minutes from Clutesi Marina for salmon fishing, near the Sproat Lake boat launch, and within walking distance to local trails leading to the Petroglyphs. With just over an hour’s drive to Nanaimo or Ucluelet, this home presents an ideal opportunity as either a seasonal retreat or a permanent residence. (id:65958)
