This coastal 126-acre property offers over 2,500 feet of breathtaking oceanfront along Edye Passage on the north end of Porcher Island, just 20 miles southwest of Prince Rupert. With pristine, untouched land that has never been logged, this property boasts remarkable conservancy value, featuring massive cedars along the waterfront and a 10± acre grove of old-growth cedar. The property also includes a canyon home to some of the largest Sitka Spruce trees, comparable to the famous 10-metere circumference Sitka Spruce near Port Renfrew.
The property’s natural beauty is further enhanced by a creek with a pink salmon run, which flows into the bay through a picturesque beach of small rocks, with a sandy area revealed at low tide. The creek is navigable by tender during high tide, allowing easy access to the beach.
Owners have thoughtfully cleared campsites and built a walking trail that traverses the entire beachfront and follows the creek, making it easy to explore and enjoy this stunning landscape. Facing northwest, the property offers spectacular sunsets that will leave you in awe.
Additionally, a homemade but high-quality mooring ball with 450 pounds of ballast has been installed in front of the river mouth, which successfully held a 28' boat.
This area is a fisherman’s paradise, with Edye Pass being one of Prince Rupert’s most popular salmon fishing spots. Additionally, the property is just around the corner from Welcome Harbour, known for its safe moorage and excellent crab fishing opportunities.
Ideal for those seeking a remote, nature-filled retreat with outstanding potential for conservation, recreation, and awe-inspiring views, this property is a rare gem in a stunning coastal setting.
North end of Porcher Island on the north coast near Prince Rupert, BC.
Access to Porcher Island and this property is achieved by floatplane 15-20 minutes from Prince Rupert, or by boat 1-2 hours from Prince Rupert.
Porcher Island is one of the protective islands that rim the British Columbia coast and is the eighth largest island on the coast. Situated in Hecate Strait, it is 544 km2 (210 mi2) and is almost square in shape, at 35 km (22 mi) long and 29 km (18 mi) wide. Its northern tip is 26 km (16 mi) south-southwest of the City of Prince Rupert. It is separated from the mainland by Telegraph Passage, which is about 9.6 km (6 mi) in width near the north end of Porcher Island, narrowing to about 4.8 km (3 mi) wide near the southern part by Ogden Channel. Its coastline is deeply indented and mountains on the island rise over 610 m (2,000 ft) in height.
Porcher Island is sparsely populated. Two communities of note are Hunts Inlet and Iona River. The majority of the properties in Hunts Inlet are used for seasonal recreation; however, there are a number of year-round residences as well. Oona River is considered to be a small working community with seasonal and year-round residents. Employment focuses around logging, fishing and tourism.
The picturesque city of Prince Rupert, across Hecate Strait from the Queen Charlotte Islands, is the hub for BC’s north coast.
The busy waterfront of Prince Rupert, one of the world’s largest deep-water terminals, handles a huge volume of grain, coal, lumber and potash. Forestry, fishing and tourism are the economic mainstays of the approximately 12,200 residents.
Prince Rupert is also the crossroads for travellers to Haida Gwaii, formally known as the Queen Charlotte Islands, Alaska, Vancouver Island and Vancouver. There are frequent ferry sailings on BC Ferries through the inside passage south and to Alaska in the north.
This acreage consists of a diverse and rugged vegetation of mostly western redcedar, Sitka spruce, and western hemlock. Underneath the trees, there is an array of coastal plants including ferns, mosses, lichens and sea asparagus. The trees along the west coast are resilient and able to endure harsh coastal conditions, including strong winds, salt spray and constant battering.
The north coast of British Columbia offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Activities around Porcher Island include world-renowned salmon fishing, crabbing, and bottom fishing. Also enjoy eco-touring around coastal inlets, viewing wildlife or exploring beaches.
Porcher Island is the traditional territories of the Tsimshian and Haida Nations.
