About this home

Set on the waterfront of Mudge Island off Vancouver Island in BC, this rare boat-access property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a private coastal retreat complete with a valuable foreshore lease and private dock—features that are increasingly difficult to find and add significant long-term value and convenience. Located just 25 minutes from Nanaimo and within easy reach of the Lower Mainland, the property combines peaceful island living with practical accessibility, while also benefiting from full services including electricity, cable, and internet—an uncommon advantage for island properties. Positioned near Dodd Narrows, the area is renowned for its abundant marine life, offering frequent sightings of whales and eagles along with excellent fishing, prawning, and crabbing. Set on just under one acre, the property features a well-maintained cabin with over 900 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, including a bright, open main level with vaulted ceilings, a cozy woodstove, and large windows that capture ocean views, as well as a spiral staircase leading to an inviting loft. A scenic deck with frameless glass railings provides the perfect place to take in the surroundings. Additional improvements include a large 600 sq ft garage/shop with lean-to, a detached self-contained guest suite above (approximately 400 sq ft) complete with kitchen, dining area, 3-piece bathroom, and bunk beds, plus a woodshed and dedicated storage/freezer room. The property is fully equipped with a drilled well, cistern, septic system, and a separate utility building housing the water system and additional storage. Within walking distance to Dodd Narrows and offering a rare blend of privacy, infrastructure, and ocean access, this unique island property is ideally suited for full-time living or as a weekend escape.
