Escape to the epitome of coastal living with this distinctive island home. Featuring two bedrooms, a loft and a landing for additional sleeping space, and two bathrooms (including a four-piece bath and ensuite), this secluded paradise offers the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. Accessible only by boat, it provides an unparalleled retreat while still offering the modern comforts of power and high-speed fiber-optic internet—ideal for remote work.
Perched 80 feet above Dodd Narrows on a lush 0.69-acre property, this home boasts breathtaking views of ever-changing marine life, from playful otters and soaring eagles to sea lions, whales and passing watercraft. Launch your kayak from the small bay below the house and spend the afternoon exploring the pristine coastline.
Designed with craftsmanship and care, the 1,170 sq. ft. home (plus a 190 sq. ft. unfinished addition) features locally sourced materials, reclaimed hardwood floors, and natural wood trim throughout. Customize the extra space to suit your needs—whether as a spare bedroom, an artist’s studio, or a sunlit retreat - the possibilities are endless.
The expansive deck is perfect for whale-watching, entertaining, or simply soaking in the stunning surroundings. Positioned on the "sunny" side of the island, it also offers ideal conditions for gardening. Summer barbecues are typically uninterrupted by mosquitoes, and you can leave the French doors open from morning to night without more than the occasional fly or wasp drifting in.
Vaulted ceilings and large windows invite natural light, creating a bright and airy interior, while the wood-burning stove provides a cozy ambiance on cooler evenings. Though Mudge Island sees little snow and rarely experiences subzero (Celsius) temperatures, the home is well-equipped for comfort year-round.
Mudge Island is home to a welcoming community of just 120 residents, offering a rare balance of seclusion and connection. There's virtually no crime, and it's a place where people from all walks of life come together. Enjoy locally sourced eggs, produce, and baked goods, or take a quick boat trip to Gabriola Island for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Nanaimo is also just a short journey away, offering city conveniences.
Mudge is the only boat-access Gulf Island with electricity, high-speed fiber-optic internet, and cable TV, making it an ideal choice for those seeking sustainable island living without sacrificing connectivity. The property features well water, rainwater harvesting equipment, a 2,500-gallon cistern, UV whole-home water filtration system, and a septic system. Stay warm with the wood stove and baseboard heaters, while a natural treed bank ensures privacy from the quiet, no-through road.
Whether kayaking along the rugged coastline, fishing for cod in pristine waters, or strolling secluded beaches, Mudge Island offers endless opportunities for outdoor exploration. Join community events, host a potluck with neighbors, or simply embrace the tranquility of island life. When you're craving a change of pace, Gabriola Island is just minutes away for a round of golf, a cozy pub meal, or even schooling options for children.
