Privacy, exclusivity, peace, safety and tranquility, Jesse Island a 9 acre fully serviced private island, just off Vancouver Island, offers this unique quality of living and it includes excellent boating, fishing, swimming and snorkelling right from your own shores and deep water moorage. Location! Location! Location!…Unlike many private islands, this west coast BC island is sheltered in Departure Bay close to Nanaimo. The large bay provides warm waters in the summer and protection from open ocean storms, plus the views are outstanding! In the sheltered waters watch dolphins, seals and seabirds. Jesse Island is home to a bald eagle family which nest in the trees overhead. Ferry boats, kayakers and sailboats add to the scenery. To the east are the snow capped coastal mountains and to the west, the beautiful night lights of Nanaimo. Easy accessibility to shopping and amenities, ferry transportation to Vancouver and an International airport are a plus. Valuable infrastructures such as city water, city power and telephone have already been brought to the island. The topography offers several sandy coves and a fairly level land mass assessable via groomed trails meandering to grassy view points and through original growth pine, cedar, arbutus and oak trees as well as native blackberries and wildflowers. A rustic styled 4 bedroom 5 bathroom family retreat was built in 1997. This log home has floor to vaulted ceiling windows, a stone fireplace and an enormous deck, all overlooking the largest beach and the 3 to 4 slip deep water dock. Accommodations include a 2 car garage, a caretakers cottage and guest camping facilities, complete with his & hers hot & cold showers and facilities.
