1704 Tiber Bay Rd

Oceanfront Sanctuary on Cortes Island -- Rare Share Company Offering Perched on a dramatic bluff overlooking Malaspina Strait toward Desolation Sound, this extraordinary Cortes Island property offers a way of life that simply cannot be replicated. Framed by 150 acres of standing forest and open to panoramic ocean views, the estate includes a masterfully crafted 3 bedroom, 2 bath main home, with tiered decks, a separate water-view studio with kitchen sink, bathroom, and sleeping accommodation, a magnificent 1,335 sq ft arts building with dance studio, sleeping loft, water closet, and pottery space, a kayak shelter steps from the shore, and a fenced garden -- all built by local craftspeople using timber harvested from the land itself. End of the road tranquility- wake to the sounds of eagles, herons, and whales. Follow the trail to a private pebble beach. Soak in a six-person hot tub under the stars. Inside, arbutus wood banisters, custom hand-crafted details, in-floor radiant heat, and an open-loft design speak to the rare level of care and artistry brought to every corner of the home. Ownership of 1704 Tiber Bay Road is structured as a share purchase in Eco Initiatives Inc. (buyer information package on request)-- a small, established community of 15 households sharing stewardship of the land under a conservation covenant. Annual costs are modest and transparent. The community, as a share company-meets once a year and operates by consensus, with a long track record of thoughtful governance and collective care for the property. This is more than a home. It is membership in one of BC's most unique coastal communities -- where coastal rainforest meets the sea, and where the pace of life matches the tides. (id:41202)
