Water-access-only 0.52-acre freehold property in Jakes Landing, a unique recreational community on Sechelt Inlet near the abundant waters of Skookumchuck Narrows. Jakes Landing is a quiet, close-knit community where generations of families have enjoyed the West Coast lifestyle. Protected waters, easy boating access from Sechelt and Egmont, and proximity to Skookumchuck Narrows make it an ideal base for boating, fishing, kayaking and exploring one of the Sunshine Coast's most scenic settings. Most properties that become available in the community are leasehold, making this freehold offering a less common opportunity. Located approximately 30 minutes by boat from Sechelt or 15 minutes from Egmont, the property is also easily accessible for weekend use from Vancouver and offers southwest-facing ocean and mountain views, good sun exposure and wonderful privacy surrounded by mature forest. These attributes make Sechelt Inlet one of the Sunshine Coast's premier protected boating destinations.
The property is improved with a 1,746 sq. ft. two-level home that has been well cared for and enjoyed by the current owner as a full-time residence. Equally suited as a recreational retreat, the home was built in 2001 with a final occupancy permit and features level entry to both floors, a durable metal roof and a large wraparound sundeck with a newer vinyl membrane that remains under warranty.
The home reflects the character of the property, with the wood used in its construction milled directly on site. The exterior is finished in cedar siding, while the windows and doors are custom-built from fir milled on the property. The windows feature a custom green tint designed to reduce sun bleaching and protect the interior from prolonged sun exposure.
The upper floor contains the main living area, one bedroom and a four-piece bathroom with bathtub, shower, toilet and sink. Woodstoves are located on both levels. The partially finished lower level features 12 ft ceilings and currently serves as a spacious second bedroom accommodating multiple beds for family and guests. A projector and large screen create the perfect space for movie nights after a day on the water, while existing plumbing provides flexibility to further finish the space if desired.
The home is equipped for comfortable off-grid living with a combination propane and electric refrigerator, propane hot water, washer and propane dryer, and a septic system. Power is supplied by four solar panels charging eight deep-cycle, 6 Volt lead-acid batteries through an inverter system. A fully automated backup diesel generator provides additional power when required. The established systems have allowed the property to operate as a full-time residence with many of the conveniences of a conventionally serviced home.
The residence is set approximately 100 metres back from the ocean at an elevation of approximately 75 metres, providing privacy, sun exposure and views across Sechelt Inlet. Dedicated road access connects the beach to the home, making it possible to transport supplies, equipment and materials from the shoreline.
A dedicated mooring buoy serving the property has recently been redone. A custom 19 ft landing craft powered by a 225 hp outboard motor is available for purchase at an additional price, along with a 1991 Jeep YJ used to transport goods and materials between the beach and residence.
Jakes Landing offers immediate access to some of the Sunshine Coast's best recreational waters. Whether fishing, prawning, crabbing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, wildlife viewing or simply cruising the sheltered waters of Sechelt Inlet, the area provides an exceptional West Coast lifestyle just minutes from Skookumchuck Narrows.
A much-loved home and property offering established off-grid infrastructure, privacy, southwest exposure and freehold ownership in one of Sechelt Inlet's most desirable water-access communities.

Jakes Landing - Sechelt Inlet
Contact the listing agent.
Sechelt Inlet is one of the principal inlets of the BC Coast and the third of such inlets north from the 49th parallel, the first of which is Burrard Inlet, Vancouver's harbour. The Inlet is significant in that it almost makes an island of what is instead the Sechelt Peninsula, whose isthmus is at the town of Sechelt at the head of the Inlet. The isthmus is less than 1.2 km (0.75 miles) in distance.
Another significant thing about Sechelt Inlet is the famous saltwater rapid (Sechelt Rapids) as it enters Skookumchuck Narrows, which rages with near waterfall-like fury during tide changes. Other fjords on the BC Coast have similar rapids, also called skookumchucks (strong waters in the Chinook jargon, the old coastal trade language), which like Sechelt Inlet are caused by the typical shallows near the mouth of a fjord as the volume of water inside the fjord's depths tries to pour out to, or in from, the more open waters beyond. In Sechelt Inlet's case, the Skookumchuck Narrows are exactly as its name describes—narrow—forcing the water to an even greater torrent than is typical elsewhere.
Sechelt Inlet has two side-inlets, Salmon Inlet, which begins at a small power dam at the mouth of the Clowhom River and is about 23 km in length, and Narrows Inlet, which starts at the mouth of the Tzoonie River and includes the Tzoonie Narrows. The latter is about 15 km (9.3 miles) in length and emerges on the main inlet just inside the inner mouth of the Skookumchuck Narrows. Egmont is located 6 km (3.6 miles) off Highway 101 at the northern end of the Sechelt Peninsula on the Sunshine Coast of BC. The Sunshine Coast is accessible from the Lower Mainland only by boat or airplane. Travellers aboard BC Ferries leave Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver for the 45-minute ride to Langdale on the Sechelt Peninsula.
Nestled within one of the Sunshine Coast's most picturesque marine environments, Sechelt Inlet offers an unmatched outdoor lifestyle where adventure begins at your doorstep. From the property, spend your days boating through the calm, protected waters of the inlet, kayaking secluded shorelines, paddleboarding hidden coves, or fishing and crabbing in the rich coastal waters. Nearby destinations such as Skookumchuck Narrows, Tetrahedron Provincial Park, Porpoise Bay Provincial Park and the many islands, beaches and anchorages throughout the inlet provide endless opportunities for exploration. Hiking, mountain biking and wildlife viewing are all within easy reach, while nearby Tillicum Bay Marina and the public boat launch at Porpoise Bay make accessing the property simple and convenient. Just a short boat ride from the vibrant community of Sechelt, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of complete waterfront seclusion and easy access to restaurants, shopping, golf, marinas, galleries and all the amenities that make the Sunshine Coast one of British Columbia's most sought-after recreational destinations
