About This Property

Affordable Gulf Island living with a rare lifetime marina membership included. Making a highly sought-after combination without the high cost of a foreshore lease. This charming 1100 sq ft, 2-bedroom house with detached garage sits on a sunny, treed 0.8-acre lot. Mudge Island, BC is just minutes from Gabriola Island, Nanaimo, and Cedar by boat. The Craftsman-inspired home has been thoughtfully updated and can be purchased turnkey if desired. All the comforts are here: a heat pump, WETT-certified wood stove, updated kitchen appliances and cabinetry, well and septic, BC Hydro with 200-amp service, and reliable high-speed internet. Ideal for year-round living, remote work, or a relaxing retirement. A sunny patio connects the home to a 20×30 garage and workshop with additional space for hobbies, an office, or a gym. Perfect for entertaining, this flexible and functional garage space features a dual-fuel wood and propane pizza oven. Gardeners will enjoy the established gardens with terraced beds, herbs, and fruit trees. 1/3rd of the property is fully fenced, perfect for dogs or even a small hobby farm. The remainder of the land remains beautifully natural, with native trees, tall Douglas firs, curving arbutus, and Garry oaks. Local zoning allows one residence and up to 3 outbuildings. Many types of home-based businesses are welcome here. See Mudge Island bylaws for details. For those seeking room to expand the possibilities, you'll be happy to know that the adjacent lot (Lot 108 Herring Heights) is also available for purchase. Mudge Island is home to a welcoming community of about 150 year-round residents and is well known for whale watching at nearby Dodd Narrows Park, where orcas and humpback whales often pass remarkably close to shore. Fishing, prawning and crabbing is popular and plentiful in the area as well.
