GORGEOUS GOSSIP ISLAND RETREAT
LOCATION
This exclusive paradise is accessible by boat. As Gossip Island is just east of Galiano Island, most come via the Sturdies Bay ferry terminal on Galiano and then walk to Whaler Bay, where your slip and private watercraft await. From here, a short 7 min ride takes you to the community dock on Gossip Island. (Galiano Island is a quick 50 minute ferry ride from Vancouver or a convenient 15 minute seaplane flight. If you are coming from Victoria, its a pretty 90 minute ferry trip with beautiful broken island vistas.)
Gossip Island consists of approximately 45 waterfront lots most of which have access to a community water system, hydro, phone and internet. A community dock services the residents of Gossip island and ATV’s or golf carts are used to travel from the dock to your private property. A wildlife preserve is located in the middle of the island.
THE HOME
This well built, coastal home is perfect for entertaining. The best views of the home are the open plan kitchen / living room and the primary bedroom with walk out deck. The concrete deck which spans the entire ocean side of the home is the best spot for soaking up the stunning sun rises, storm watching and star gazing. Above you will find a second bedroom, 2-piece bath, TV room / den and office. Attached to the main house is also a large flex room with 2 separate bunk areas for overflow guests, a family room and above, a charming turret to sneak away and read or meditate. Both areas provide a great spot to work remotely when the guests are gone.
THE WORKSHOP
A ample utility room/pantry with an attached expansive workshop offers plenty of room for large creative projects. A carport provides room for the kayaks, paddle boards and ATV’s.
