For those that are not local or unfamiliar of this area of West Vancouver I have attempted to describe it and property in detail herein.

The property has been cleared, surveyed and is waiting for a new home. The purchase of this property comes with 2 sets of different plans for an Architecturally designed 3 story home, both homes are between 5,000 and 6,000 sq. ft. including a 850 sq. ft. lower level walk-out suite with large decks. Property sports a 360-degree ocean, mountain and sunset views. The property slopes down to the lot line on the south/westside, below the property line the land slopes steeply down to the oceanfront and a waterfront home which is not visible, Mr. Ansell's old house. The view from property is directly down and out to the ocean and feels like waterfront. The view is a forever view out to Vancouver Island in the South and up Howe Sound to the Tantalus Mountain Range to the north with peaks of 8,500 ft.... snow capped mountains as seen in one of the photos and views of Bowen, Gambier, Anvil and Bowyer Islands. Lots of Sun, in fact if the Sun is shining on the any day of every month- you will see a Sunset every month of the year... that why this area is called Sunset Point and is just south of to Sunset Marina.

8563 Ansell is a large private half acre semi waterfront property, a rare someplace special like no other location. You won't need a recreational property because the neighborhood of Sunset Point is a home and recreational retreat wrapped into one location, you can have it all, right here. Nature's beauty surrounds you, trees, water and fresh air, serenely and quiet. This little jewel of paradise is waiting for someone to call home.

Of Special Note: Ansell Place offers a Mediterranean type of climate zone, with less than 75 inches of rain per year. The 'zone' runs from North of Lions Bay community (5minutes North along Sea to Sky Hwy) all the way-around to Light House Park in West Vancouver. This climate zone contains many Arbutus trees, due to the weather pattern/climate zone of Howe Sound and surrounding mountains. This area has less rain, more clear sky's than the Eastern half of the North Shore, the very reason Arbutus trees thrive here. The climate area of Sunset Beach gets half the rainfall of some parts of the North Shore... that's a bonus.

The owners of 8563 Ansell have genuinely enjoyed this wonderful spot and special neighborhood for over 30 years, while watching passing BC Ferry's, Cruise Liners, private yachts, dolphins jumping and whales spouting. Walking down to the private beach and Marine Park or hiking the many trails of Cypress Park or maybe heading to Horseshoe Bay for a pint. Where can you find such a distinct property within a 20-minute drive to an international cosmopolitan city centre as Vancouver, serene privacy, views and proximity to nature... I truly believe they just do not make property like this anymore. That's the great story of 8563 Ansell Place, Sunset Point. Not just a lot for sale but a life style for those who want to live with nature yet close to all Vancouver offers.
