This private 5-acre property offers space, quiet, and future potential in the heart of Gabriola Island, just 20 minutes by ferry from Nanaimo and close to beautiful beaches and trails. About one-third of the land is cleared into a level lawn framed by trees, while the remainder slopes into forest with a seasonal creek, creating excellent privacy. With road frontage on two sides, the parcel offers flexible access and layout options. The detached garage is fully insulated with 220 power, underground service from the pump house, a full bath, and rough-in plumbing for a future kitchen. It works well as a workshop, studio, or could be transformed in to extra living space. An older mobile home is included for use while you plan and build. The drilled well (12 GPM) and existing septic field add valuable infrastructure. A unique chance to secure a well-located acreage with key services already in place.
