WELCOME TO

DECOURCY ISLAND, BC

​

Unplugged in stunning beauty

Enjoy beautiful Gulf Island waterfront, off-the-grid living at a remarkably affordable price. This .68 acre property on Decourcy Island is set on a high bank looking southwest with amazing sunset views of Stuart Channel across to Yellow Point and down to Chemanius. This is a magical special place. This 400 sq ft . one room cabin is a beautifully built wood framed structure with vaulting 18’ ceilings. Sleeping is loft style. It’s systems are very simple right now – 300 gallon water reservoir, outhouse, simple solar and propane, wood burning fireplace - it’s really glamping at its best. Because Decourcy is off-the-grid it is quiet ,quiet, quiet. Plans to expand this little cabin have been drawn up and assessed and would be highly feasible and fairly simple to accomplish. Better still this lot has no neighbours to the South and a firebreak beyond – allowing for a full 3.5 acres of solo unimpeded peace and quiet.

​

For off-the-grid properties, Decourcy Island is remarkable in that it is home to a 40 acre provincial marine park – Pirates Cove. It has a private island Marina where you can dock your boat. Most remarkably it has 2 seaplane flights a day from the South Airport making it 15 minutes affordably accessible from Vancouver’s YVR South Airport. Leave work in Vancouver at 3:00 and you’ll be on Decourcy by 5:00. 

The cabin comes furnished with Danish pine sofa, armchair, loft bed, and simple kitchen facilities. All utensils and tools included. Sale includes a 2000 watt EU Honda generator.

Decourcy is one of the best deals in the gulf islands.
