Bones Bay

“Fishy Pete’s Bones Bay Lodge” Long-term lease tenure and floating lodge on the northern shoreline of West Cracroft Island, looking across Clio Channel to Turnour Island in northern Johnstone Strait. This is a popular fishing and boating area, adjacent to the world-renowned Broughton Archipelago and the numerous large inlets of the south-central BC coast. The 0.16 hectare (0.39 acre) tenure is in place for commercial use of a fishing lodge, and currently expires in April 2044. Dock and moorage improvements include 5 steel pilings, one of which is a double steel piling, which are all interconnected with cabled-up boom logs mostly decked as walkways. There are two float houses on the tenure. The two accommodations are currently run as a floating vacation rental, where clients book and then have self-serve access to the houses and moorage. The larger accommodation is a 40x40ft one bedroom cabin with kitchen and bathroom, with propane appliances and hot water. The second accommodation is a 25x25ft studio cabin with a bathroom. Infrastructure includes a permitted sewage and effluent disposal system. This is a share sale. Zoning on this property is Marine Zone. While this tenure’s use falls outside of the current allowed uses, the zoning does permit non-conforming status for existing marine areas that were in place when the zoning was amended, and Bones Bay has this status. This cannot be used for residential purposes. There is quick boat access directly across Johnstone Strait at the Adam/Eve River log sort that provides logging road access to Highway 19 on Vancouver Island. Kelsey Bay is accessible by paved road on Vancouver Island and it is approximately 18 miles (45 minutes running time) to the east by boat, while Port McNeill is approximately 32 miles to the west. Port McNeill is a good-sized community that offers a variety of supplies as well as convenient and essential services.
