Protection Island log home for sale

75 Captain Morgans Boulevard, Protection Island

Custom built log home: $479,900; Used golf cart: $2000; Having a golf cart be your transportation to your new log home on your island oasis? PRICELESS!!

Ever considered an island getaway? Are you finding it hard to choose which island to purchase on? Well, work smarter, not harder, we always say…and look no further. Protection Island has the conveniences of the city services, such as sewer and water, with all the quirks and bonuses of island living.

Although you can use your own boat, there is a ferry service to and from the island. Transportation on the island ranges from foot and bikes to golf carts (a personal fav.) and a few vehicles.

The ferry service picks you up in the heart of Nanaimo, at one of the major shopping centers, and drops you off on the island at the Dinghy Dock; a pub and family restaurant, enjoyed by locals and nanaimoites alike. Your journey amongst the island will have you passing many different sites, stimulating all of your senses.

There is a community garden that is lovingly maintained by the residences, full of beautiful flowers and organic foods. There are roadside berry bushes and organic fruit/veggie stands that “just taste better”. The sounds you hear are of golf carts passing by, friendly hellos, and an orchestra of birds and wildlife.

Your feet will enjoy walks on the beaches, which are minutes away from most points on the island. Your hands will bask in the therapy of digging in the sand for clams and oysters at the nice clean bay. The air smells cleaner, the food tastes fresher, and your body feels calmer living the lifestyle the local Islanders have learned to love. This Log Home we have for sale is designed and built by Broad Axe Construction and is a quality handcrafted custom home. Each Douglas Fir log has been hand peeled using the traditional draw knife method. Every log is individually selected and scribe fit ensuring a tight fit to the log below. The builder/owner is meticulous in his workmanship and it shows. The home comes with the builder’s 2/5/10 year warranty and in addition to the home warranty, Broad Axe Construction will include a maintenance schedule contract for all necessary maintenance and repairs in regards to typical log home settling, for a period of 2 years.

The flooring is mixed wood and tile and the heating is electric with a wood stove. There is 1 bedroom on the main floor and the loft area is home to the master suite with a jetted tub as well as a shower.

Intricate details throughout created by many hours of manual labour are evident throughout. Here, you would be purchasing more than just a home; you would be purchasing a lifestyle.
