Positioned along Marine Avenue in the heart of Powell River, this in-town waterfront property represents a rare opportunity to secure a premium stretch of coastline.
The lot is gently sloped toward the water, creating an elevated vantage point with uninterrupted, panoramic views across the Salish Sea toward Vancouver Island flanked by Texada Island to the South and Harwood, Savary and Cortez Islands to the North. The outlook is broad and open, defined by long sightlines, passing marine traffic, and a constantly shifting coastal horizon.
The shoreline offers a natural, usable waterfront. At low tide, the beach extends outward with a mix of sand, stone, and tidal pools, while higher tides bring the water closer in, allowing for direct ocean access.
With a true west-facing orientation, the property captures consistent natural light and clear sunset exposure over open water, a key characteristic of this location. A short distance away, the seawall connects to the waterfront pathway, providing a direct and scenic route into the downtown core.
Opportunities of this quality within the Sunshine Coast are increasingly limited. The combination of elevation, usable waterfront, in-town access, and expansive views defines this as a standout offering.

The area now known as Powell River has long been home to the Tla’amin First Nation, whose connection to these lands and waters spans thousands of years. The community’s modern history began in the early 1900s with the establishment of a large pulp and paper mill, which quickly transformed the area into one of British Columbia’s earliest planned industrial towns.
Developed as a self-sufficient mill community, Powell River grew with a strong sense of structure, character, and purpose, elements that are still reflected today, particularly in the historic Townsite district. Over time, the city evolved beyond its industrial roots into a vibrant coastal community, now known for its natural beauty, cultural richness, and exceptional quality of life along the Sunshine Coast.
