B.C. has several unique properties across the province, and this is definitely one of them.
While there are lots of multi-million dollar properties on the market with ocean views and docks, has a couple of unusual aspects that make it a little different.
The most notable of these is a Japanese Teppanyaki hut (slides 13 and 14). Teppanyaki is typically an interactive restaurant experience (think of Benihana, like in that ) where food is cooked on a grill at the table.
However, instead of being located in a city tower, or even in the main house on this property, this hut stands separately, on a rocky outcropping overlooking the ocean.
The property, located on Read Island (one of the ) is completely off the grid and powered by huge solar panels and wind. Whaletown, on Cortes Island, is the closest community. It also has a long dock that juts out into the water deep enough for a large vessel (up to 120 feet).
The main house and the hut aren't the only buildings on the property, either, there are three others fit for accommodation called the Rose Cottage, the Sunroom Cabin and the Bunkhouse. One is a beautiful space in its own right with a dining and living room space bigger than many Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»apartments.
There's also a wood-powered hot tub, a hummingbird feeder "with an astounding quantity of hummingbirds visiting daily," and studio, according to the listing.
For those wondering about food, there isn't a 7-Eleven or Superstore nearby, but the property does have a shellfish harvesting license (and is in an area known for oysters). The nearby ocean is also a good spot for catching prawns and salmon (and likely spotting orcas and sea lions).
The property also has a garden, a greenhouse, a small orchard, and some grape vines (and a deer fence) on the property.
Currently, this Read Island property is on the market for just under $4 million, or about the same as a .
