If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own island and you have a spare $7 million then Pym Island, a few minutes by boat from North Saanich, may be for you.
The 6.2-acre island features a sandy beach, dock, boathouse, deep-water moorage, paths through woods, a caretaker’s house at the dock, plus a main house and four one- and two-bedroom cabins near a man-made lake.
Logan Wilson shares the listing with Brayden Klein of the Victoria Luxury Group, part of Sotheby’s International Realty.
“You get the sense of [being] a million miles away,” Wilson said. On a sunny day, the water is turquoise. “It’s like you’re someplace tropical.”
There’s an outdoor tennis court and the main house has an indoor pool and a hot tub.
The island is flat and easy to walk around.
Four to five calls per day come in asking about the island, said Wilson. It is among only a few B.C. islands listed for sale. Some are in more remote areas and are not as accessible.
Provincial records show that three individuals and one company, all of West Vancouver, are listed as the owners.
The island is being marketed internationally. Wilson said he has received interest from Canadians as well.
The 1980-built main house measures 9,156 square feet and has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Altogether, there are 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms on the property.
Arched windows surround the main house which features vaulted ceilings, marble countertops, stone fireplaces, marble and oak floors, a cedar roof and central air conditioning.
The home is connected to the B.C. Hydro grid and has a backup diesel generator. It has storage for fresh water, a backup water connection to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Island and is on a septic system.
Pym falls under the jurisdiction of the Islands Trust.
