“It’s very pristine,” said Realtor Jamie Zroback, of B.C. Landpro Group. “Most of the island, except for the land around the improvements, is all in its natural state.” (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
There’s a walking trail to get around, with a number of vantage points on the island. (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)

“It’s got old-growth forests on it with beautiful fir and cedar trees,” Zroback added. “And it’s within very close proximity of Critter Cove, which is a popular fishing destination.” (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
You can also fish right off the island, the Realtor said. (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
The island is listed for $1,719,000—but there is a catch. (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)

Shared ownership The price is for a two-thirds undivided interest in the property, which is currently owned by three families, each with an equal share. The island is held on “a single title as tenants in common,” the listing says. (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
Two of the families are moving on. “They’ve enjoyed it for years, and they’re now needing to be closer to services,” said Zroback. “They’re at an age where they’re wanting to see new families come in and take it over.” (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
The island is an approximately 15-minute boat ride from Cougar Creek, located on the west coast of Vancouver Island. (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)

You can also access the island by boat or float plane out of Gold River, a village approximately 90 kilometres west of Campbell River. (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
Rustic cabins The buyer would have use of two of the three cabins, which Zroback described as “rustic.” (BC Landpro Group, LandQuest Realty)
