The property is zoned Forest Land Stewardship, which allows for a mix of residential, conservation, forestry and agriculture. It is possible to subdivide this property with the potential for 6 strata lots with the balance of the property to remain as protected forest. The property is located within easy walking distance of Gorge Harbour yet once you are on the property you feel like you are in the middle of the wilderness.

| This special property would be ideal for a group purchase as the current zoning allows for up to 6 dwellings. The property has protective covenants to safe guard the integrity of the forest and its many habitats. It is an ideal place for a model eco village as the zoning allows for residential use, agriculture, silviculture and cottage industry. It would also be a wonderful retreat property for an individual buyer interested in living in the heart of a protected forest and being the custodian of this unique forest ecosystem. |

The awe inspiring 80 acres features an impressive forest with many micro systems including old growth snags and trees, two very active wetlands, cedar groves, rock outcroppings with moss and fern gardens, open sunny areas plus deep west coast forest, light and open undercover or dense salal and Oregon grape undercover with forest surprises like orchids and mushrooms. Wildlife abounds with the sound of frog song in the spring, song birds, owls and other tree top inhabitants. The many ground based creatures are much quieter but there is evidence of them everywhere. A family of otters nest in one of the wet lands, there is a cougar scratch tree plus deer and wolf signs are evident. It is hard not to feel the magic when walking on any of the many wildlife trails.

The property is located within easy walking distance of Gorge Harbour and the marina.
