Escaping to an island is a common fantasy, and only the privileged few can actually afford to buy one of their own. Situated in Stuart Channel, about three miles from the Vancouver Island town of Chemainus, the beautifully treed Scott Island is without a doubt worth its whopping price tag of CAD $4,900,000 (approx. US $4,732,000). Spread over 5.26 acres, the Scott Island is accessible by boat or helicopter. The island’s main residence is a contemporary and spacious 4,541 sq. ft. bi-level home with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, an room/entertainment area, an open and airy kitchen/dining/family room and a separate living room with a brick fireplace. Next to the house is the 1,644 sq. ft. caretaker’s wing, which includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both these sections come with large wrap-around decks and upstairs bedrooms with balconies. Most of the rooms in the house offer magnificent southwest views.
The personal, private getaway features casual landscaping that includes lawns, shrubs, pond and fruit trees starting just around the house. Throughout the island, you will find simple walking trails and easy ocean access. While a regular ferry service is also available from Chemainus, we expect the super rich owner of this beautiful island to have his own luxurious watercraft.
A variety of outdoor activity options are available on the Scott Island, including a full-size tennis court, hiking, bird watching, kayaking, swimming, diving, fishing and crabbing in the offshore waters. Another attraction of the island is its sizeable all-tide and all-weather harbor with breakwater.
