Farquharson Island is situated in the southern central region of coastal British Columbia. The location offers access to dramatic country as well as outdoor exploration and recreation opportunities. Farquharson Island is in a well-protected location at the eastern end of Clio Channel just south of Minstrel Island, with East and West Cracroft Islands situated to the south and east.
The island is completely undeveloped and has an appealing range of natural features. Most of the topography is comprised of low, moderately sloped terrain with a few dramatic rock outcrops, one of which reaches an elevation of 105 metres above sea level. The property was logged a number of years ago with some mature timber remaining along the perimeter and in locations throughout the island.
The balance is in a healthy state of regeneration. As a result of this activity approximately 20-25 years ago, there is a network of internal roads and paths which could be reactivated and provide access throughout the entire island. The shoreline is extensive, at approximately 4733 metres or 2.9 miles. It varies greatly and incorporates a number of bays and peninsulas with a mix of rock outcrops as well as sand and gravel beaches.
Amenities and services are available on a seasonal basis at Lagoon Cove Marina and Resort located on the opposite side of Clio Channel and year-round in Port McNeill which is only 30 miles to the west. Port McNeill is a quaint coastal community on NE Vancouver Island and provides an array of services, supplies and amenities. It is also approximately 20 minutes away from the airport in Port Hardy.
The island is zoned Rural A-1 which allows for the subdivision of acreages down to 4 hectares or 9.88 acres. Residential, recreational and a number of other permitted uses apply. This is an interesting consideration for anyone interested in creating a private island domain.
The region surrounding Farquharson Island provides some of the best outdoor adventure and recreation opportunities one can find on the coast. It is within close proximity to areas where one can view mainland grizzly bears, orcas and other spectacular wildlife that frequent the region. The region is well known for fishing, gathering and hunting. Knight Inlet, one of BC’s largest fjords, is less than 2 miles to the north through The Blowhole, a phenomenal waterway that will take you deep into the heart of BC.
