Oceanfront Sanctuary on Cortes Island — Rare Share Company Offering Perched on a dramatic bluff overlooking the sunrise on Malaspina Strait toward Desolation Sound, this extraordinary Cortes Island property offers a way of life that cannot be replicated. Framed by 150 acres of standing forest and open to panoramic ocean views, the estate includes a masterfully crafted three bedroom, two bath main home (2225 square feet including loft) with tiered decks, a separate water-view studio with kitchen sink, bathroom, and sleeping accommodation (448 square feet), plus a magnificent 915 square foot 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. 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.
