103 Church Bay Road NEW!

$1,200,000.

The home has a large open living area and kitchen, with master and guest bedroom, finished cleanly with high quality material throughout. On one level , the home is two steps up from the naturally manicured landscape. The house is built between huge Arbutus and fir trees. Two steps beyond the lot is the sandy beach that stretches in a gentle curve to a rocky headland bordering Minx Reef and Winter Cove park to the West. To the East are the King Islets and Lyall Harbour. The beach is one of the finest swimming spots on the island, with a gentle slope that warms the incoming tide making the beach in front of the property a central part of living in this house.

The beach is perfect for launching kayaks that may be stored in the open, timber framed garage. With ocean access of this caliber, it is even possible to keep sailing dinghies on the beach in front of the house. There, in addition, summer moorage possible in the deeper water off the beach. In addition a purchaser can secure membership in the Winter Cove yacht club, a short walk away from the house. The dock is open to residents of the Winter Cove area and has a deep water dock suitable for powerboats and sail boats up to 19 feet.

Across Church Bay road is Saturna Island’s original log cabin church. Church Bay Road connects with Winter Cove Road approximately 500 metres from the house and runs past rolling sheep pastures before connecting with Winter Cove Park, part of the Gulf Island’s National Park Reserve. The Park has extensive walking trails leading to dramatic Boat Pass where the tide roars through a 20 metre gap between the Gulf Islands and the Georgia Strait. The whole area is an idyllic place for walking in solitude, with dogs or cycling. The easy beach access in front of the house makes regular use of a kayak or rowboat as easy as hopping on a bicycle to explore the Bay, adjoining Winter Cove and Irish Bay on Samuel Island. This ease of access is only possible with a few properties on the Island and is part of what makes 103 Church Bay Road such a special property on Saturna Island.
