At any given time, there are usually a few private islands for sale in the Gulf Islands region – But rarely are they as fully developed as Norway Island, which is selling for only $5.75 million (thanks to a $750k markdown from $6.5 mil) And it comes with all the fixings you could want, along with the ability to easily redevelop or expand its facilities.
Three Legacy Homes
To start, this 30-acre island estate comes with three homes; A 5,500 sq. ft. main house, a lovely log guest house (1,200 sq. ft.), and a strategically placed caretaker’s residence (1,500 sq. ft.) With your 60 ft. rock breakwater-protected dock, you have ample parking for your speedboat and yacht.
Recreation Amenities
Recreation includes an in-ground swimming pool and an omni-grass tennis court that can be easily converted into a pickleball, basketball, or other courts. Then you can swap out balls for apples, pears, and plums – Thanks to your very own fruit tree orchard. And of course your very own island comes with all the aquatic-based activities you can ask for, from swimming, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, jet skiing, whale watching, and more. Then when you’re tired of salt water, you have an 60,000 gallon in-ground swimming pool with built-in jacuzzi (and a family sized sauna).
Year-Round Infrastructure
Your island kingdom is fully set to accommodate you year round. Power is supplied via a submarine cable from neighbouring Thetis Island, along with three diesel generators as backup. To power the backup generators, there are two fuel storage tanks that hole 6,000 liters of fuel. There are five potable water wells with water storage tanks with a 10,000 gallon total capacity. They also throw in a Massey Ferguson tractor for managing your 30 acres (and for influencer photo shoots).
Future Development
While already an amazing turn-key experience, its 30 acres has plenty of room to dream. It could be expanded into a cult family compound with additional housing and new communal spaces. It’s also the ideal location for establishing a wellness retreat with complete immersion in nature but convenient access to civilization (and an international airport). And it has plenty of opportunity for sustainability upgrades, such as solar power and improved water management.
Norway Island Transportation
With your 60 ft. rock breakwater-protected dock, you can park your speedboat and yacht. Then a short boat ride gets you to convenience stores, local beaches, and a pup on Thetis Island next door. you’re also minutes away from ferry access to Vancouver Island and the mainland, and other marine services. If you need to catch a flight from YVR, a float plane will get your there in only 20 minutes. If you want to get to downtown Vancouver and avoid all the traffic and construction, your island comes with a cheat code: The tennis court doubles as a helipad – With a Helijet getting you to downtown Vancouver in 20 mins flat. And if you enjoy a cruise, a small speedboat will get you to Vancouver island in 25 minutes and to Vancouver in one hour.
