There are very few pristine, undeveloped waterfront acreages left.  With approximately 4.4 acres of sloping land and over 1000 feet of sun-drenched, South facing, accessible waterfront this is definitely one of the best.  Held by the same family for over thirty five years, this treasure is ready to fulfill your dreams.

This amazing and unique waterfront parcel is approximately 4.4 acres in size offering a grand 1000 feet of waterfront.  While many waterfront lots have their shortest side on the water, this acreage places its longest edge against the shoreline affording private and unobstructed water views from a variety of building sites.  The land is covered by a range of large and small indigenous evergreen trees and low bushes.  In the spring, wildflowers crowd the sunny waterfront area.

 

The highest point of the lot is the North edge on Sooke Road.  From there, the land slopes Southerly in a series of steps to the waterfront.  The ground is a combination of granite rock and earth. 

 

The waterfront is mostly granite rock with a medium to low bank and is easily accessible in many areas.  The Southern exposure guarantees plenty of warm sunshine.  In addition, when gazing across the bay, one can enjoy great views of the Olympic Mountains towering over the East Sooke Peninsula.

 

The water immediately fronting the property is the Sooke Basin.  It is navigable year round and is of sufficient depth for large and small vessels.  Although the basin is approximately fourteen square kilometers in area, it is protected and rarely experiences waves of any size.  The Eastern half of the acreage curves gently North so that a dock in this area would be sheltered from adverse weather.  The water depth, even close to shore, seems suitable for a variety of vessels.

 

The property is easily accessible from Sooke Road which is a paved major roadway.  A gravel driveway with a moderate slope leads from Sooke Road through the property to the shoreline and to the most desirable building sites. Two wells have been drilled on the property, the main well delivering over 20 gallons per minute of cold, clear water.

 

The world famous Galloping Goose trail passes through the property, bisecting it.  On either side of the trail, waterfront and inland, there are several possible building sites, either offering direct waterfront or spectacular views.

 

Getting to and from this acreage is easy and quick.  By road, Sooke is a short 10 minute drive away.  Victoria, the largest city in the area, is only 35 minutes away. 

 

This property is ideally suited for development into a private executive waterfront retreat.  The large length of the waterfront protects your privacy and your sight lines.  The RU-2 rural zoning is flexible and permits a wide variety of uses including a single family dwelling, agriculture, boarding and lodging, home-based business, and vacation accommodation.  Up to three dwellings are possible under certain conditions.  As an investment, this property offers the buyer an expectation of capital appreciation due to its location, zoning, uniqueness, large size, and unbeatable South facing waterfront.
