Custom built West Coast home & Studio on beautiful Protection Island. Ideally located across from a large waterfront park and a short walk to the Community Dock and the Dingy Dock Restaurant, Pub & Ferry service. Protection Island is a small community of forested parks and beautiful beaches located in the harbour of downtown Nanaimo. A 10 min ferry or boat ride takes you across to Harbour Air Seaplanes, Helijet and BC Ferries - live in paradise but with easy access to all big city amenities. Our island is home to 350 residents and has a community hall, library, museum, community garden, fire station and boat ramp. Several group activities are offered year-round, including art, music and drop in sports. Protection is part of the City of Nanaimo and is serviced by municipal water & sewer, BC Hydro, Shaw and Telus. Note: Protection Island is exempt from BC's Speculation Tax.
