Gently sloping and generously sized, this waterfront lot sits along the tranquil Gorge Waterway. Just under half an acre, the property offers outstanding potential—subdivide into two lots, explore development under Provincial SSMUH regulations, or renovate and enjoy the existing 3 storey home with suite, dock, garage, and spacious detached carport. Set on a quiet lane, the property offers privacy, peaceful northerly views across the Gorge, with waterfront access. A rebuilt dock makes kayaking and paddling effortless. The main level offers expansive living and dining areas, while large windows, balconies, and decks capture water views from all three levels. Downstairs, you’ll find a large recreation room or potential third bedroom with ensuite, along with a substantial secondary suite (possible 2 bedroom) with its own entrance. Additional storage and workshop space are also located on the lower level.
