This beautiful south west facing lot slopes gently up from the road and backs onto parkland. There has been some partial clearing to provide easy access and there's a level area at the top of the property. From here there's potential for peek views of the harbour, city, mountain, plus lots of sunny exposure. Protection Island is serviced by City water/sewer and is connected to Downtown Nanaimo by a 10 minute ferry ride. Live on this peaceful park-like island and enjoy the Arts District of Downtown Nanaimo with its boutique shops, theatre, cafes, and restaurants. Located close to the nearby seaplanes, Hullo foot ferry, Helijet, BC Ferries, you can easily stay linked to larger centres and beyond. The island has its own community garden, volunteer run library, and fire station, and Canada's only floating pub! It is a short stroll from this lot to the community hall, swimming beaches and boat launch.
