Summary : |
|
This is an opportunity to own a completely private and lovingly maintained forested property, rich with biodiversity and lush riparian woodland. For 28 years, the property was operated as Herondell B&B, with guests from all over the world, and with minimal work the B&B could be put back into operation. The property is also well suited for various special interest groups.
It includes a 4,000+ ft² home with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, featuring a large European style country kitchen and open great room living area. It sits on approximately 6-8 acres of partially cleared land, featuring a gazebo, stage, bar, barbeque area with oven, shop, chicken house, veggie garden, 1 bedroom cabin with 3-piece bath and a chapel, ideal for weddings and events.
Two large ponds surround the home and Silver Creek runs through the middle of the property, providing domestic water.
The property's location is truly spectacular, as it borders Lois (Eagle) River, providing multiple private swimming areas in the summer months. There is an extensive well-built trail network throughout the property that follows the river and runs through the pristine forest.
The property is accessed directly from the highway and a 20-minute drive away from the community of Powell River, where all services and amenities are available. A few minutes down the road there is a general store and park access to one of the most beautiful beaches on the Sunshine Coast.
Over the years the property has hosted 20 weddings, many workshops, events and nature studies. The property is host to many animals and birds and the current owner cared for it like a nature reserve.
This would make the ideal private residence, wildlife sanctuary, outdoor education facility, bird watching or nature reserve. Call to book your appointment to view today!

Boating Protected by Vancouver Island to the west, the Strait of Georgia is a boater’s gateway to the most dramatic coastal scenery in the world. Due to the mild temperatures and warm pacific currents of the Strait of Georgia, boating is a year-round activity on the Sunshine Coast. Discover Savary Island, laced with long white sand beaches, and the gorgeous deserted bays of Hernando, Redonda and Cortes Island in the calm, warm waters of Desolation Sound.
Protected waters make the Upper Sunshine Coast a prime destination for ocean kayaking and canoeing. Popular spots include Jervis Inlet, Chatterbox Falls, Hardy, Nelson, Savary and Cortes Island, the Copeland Islands Marine Park and the numerous islets and quiet bays of Desolation Sound. Eco-tours, kayak and canoe rentals for day trips, as well as fully outfitted, guided expeditions, can be booked locally.
Enjoy easy road access to the many lakes and rivers. The area boasts more than 50 fresh water lakes surrounded by thousands of hectares of pristine coastal forests. Inland Lake is known for its level, 14 km trail which can accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. You may prefer a day of paddling the calm, clear waters of a peaceful lake, or, you can take on the challenge of a 57 km (35 mile) canoe route which includes 8 lakes and 5 portages. Dinner is fresh and never far away, as the region’s lakes teem with trout and, at certain times of the year, steelhead salmon!
Golf Year-Round For those who love to golf year-round, the Sunshine Coast is the place to be. The 18 hole, par 72 Myrtle Point Golf Course and Clubhouse is located in the foothills of the Coast Mountains. This Les Furber designed course offers four sets of tees for all levels of ability. A fully stocked pro-shop, driving range, putting green and Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association membership ensure a first class golfing experience. Golf cart rentals are available, plus shower-equipped locker rooms. After the game, enjoy a meal at the Orca Bar and Grill.
Fish and Seafood The Sunshine Coast is truly a fishing mecca. Whether you are reeling in a salmon or jigging for cod, fly fishing for cutthroat, rainbow trout and steelhead salmon or trolling for Kokanee in one of the region’s spectacular lakes, you will not be disappointed!

The Emerald Princess, a 2.5 metre (8 foot) bronze statue of a mermaid located below 18 metres (59 feet) of water attracts dive enthusiasts from around the world. Other dive sites include several wrecks, the Okeover Caves and numerous coastal boat dives which highlight the diverse and colorful underwater world of the BC coast.
