At the mouth of Kewquodie Creek on the SE shoreline of Quatsino Sound, approx. midway out the inlet to the Pacific Ocean. Mainly forested, logged and replanted 12 years ago. Kewquodie Creek, also known as Johnson River, flows from the SE corner north to the ocean. This is a salmon and trout bearing creek, potentially a good source for domestic water and/or power. The land slopes gradually away from the creek and oceanfront to about 40 metres, with several benches offering opportunities for build sites. A second creek runs along the western edge of the property to the ocean. While the waters out front of the property are likely too shallow for moorage, there is potential for a mooring buoy. Forest service roads run along the southern edge of the property, with side roads providing access to the property. The roads on the property are likely overgrown, but could be brushed out and expanded. Great opportunity to establish an off-grid residence, summer property or homestead.
