Unique Coastal Retreat Perched on a bluff facing Desolation Sound, this extraordinary Cortes property offers a unique way of life along the coastal shoreline. Framed by standing forest and open to panoramic ocean views, the property includes a masterfully crafted 3 bedroom, 2 bath main home (2,225 sq. ft. including loft) with tiered decks, a separate water-view studio with kitchen sink, bathroom, and sleeping accommodation (448 sq. ft.), plus a magical 915 sq. ft. arts building with dance studio, sleeping loft, water closet, and pottery space, a kayak shelter steps from the shore, and a fenced garden â all built by local craftspeople using timber harvested from the land itself. Several shareholders maintain private mooring buoys off the shared foreshore, putting a boat within reach of some of the most protected cruising water on the coast. The home sits within a 152-acre co-operative property zoned Community Land Stewardship, with extensive protections in place to preserve the surrounding ecosystem. As a co-op share, ownership includes use of the shared waterfront land and amenities rather than a separately titled parcel. (id:32467)
