Arbutus Ridge is quickly becoming the place to be if you love contemporary architecture in a stunning setting of tall Douglas Firs & rocky outcrops. This 1.0 acre building lot is in its natural state which allows you to keep as many trees as you want for privacy, or thin them out to let in some more light – you choose. Currently, the property has beautiful filtered light all day long. Sunsets create vignettes that beg to be subjects of paintings. The terrain is gently sloping with a prominent rock bluff at the SE corner. A SHARED SEPTIC FIELD is already installed on a nearby property with connection at the lot line. Walk to King Edward Bay Beach in about 10 minutes, where a private mooring buoy awaits (included). Forest bathe for hours with hiking with trails at your doorstep.
