Description : Gulf Island Residence! This lovely home is fully self contained and could be your year round residence. Located on Ruxton Island, one of the smaller islands in the DeCourcy Group, you are only 10 minutes away from Boat Harbour Marina in Cedar/Yellow Point, or less than 30 minutes from Ladysmith Harbour. This gorgeous 2.16-acre property with south west exposure is only a 5-minute walk from a secluded little bay with a sandy beach, which is perfect for landing your boat. The owners have a registered deep-water mooring buoy, situated just off the south end and close to Whaleboat Island Marine Park. The gravel roads are thickly lined with trees, and the short walk up to the home takes you back to nature, and definitely releases all your stress from the city. This is a star-gazing paradise.The property has been partially cleared, and the home is a raised Hexagon shape (ranger-style), custom built by hand by the owners, for self sustainability and energy efficiency. Over 2000 square feet with 20-foot walls per side, each room is open and spacious. The kitchen features an old wood Elmira (Julia model) cook stove with warming oven, and a propane stove. There is a propane fridge and double stainless sinks. The home is powered by a Lister Diesel generator (it is big!)with 110V and 220V system and ease for future installation of a solar system. There is an efficient Seefire woodstove for heat which includes heating coils for hot water system and a dumb-waiter to lift the firewood from the full height crawl space/workshop. A 55,000-gallon cistern with filtration system provides plenty of water plus you have easy access to a public well. It is 2X6 construction with a (2005) metal interlocking shingle roof with lifetime guarantee, thermal windows, and four skylights. There is an underground sprinkler system for the garden and grape and kiwi vines, apple and other fruit trees, roses and many varieties of wild flowers. There are very few deer on Ruxton Island, so your garden is safe from most critters. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet and cheater ensuite. Some of the furniture will stay with the home including a beautiful hand made Arbutus wood bed frame with excellent mattress & box spring. The bathroom has a big shower, sink with vanity, and is ready for a toilet. (fully operational pressurized hot/cold water system) There currently is not a septic system and an outhouse is just out the back door (with a light). There is an older Moffatt washing machine and a very spacious laundry room and library. A separate 20 x 22 foot games room includes a pool table. This home even has a walk-in pantry. There are many more features to tell you about and just not enough room here. If you are considering a change of lifestyle and dream of living on a quiet island with sea life all around you, this may be what you are looking for.
