Coastal Retreat! Lot 3 Robertson Island - Haida Gwaii

This remarkable island residence offers an unparalleled opportunity for private, oceanside living in a truly pristine setting. Situated on 5.7 acres, this custom-built Cape Cod-style home is one of just eight properties on Giiyang Gwaii (Robertson Island) and boasts an impressive 519 feet of shoreline—229 feet to the south and 221 feet to the north—directly bordering the property.

Accessible only by foot or boat, the island maintains a peaceful, vehicle-free environment, apart from a few utility ATVs. Upon arrival, a gently sloping, well-maintained path leads 440 metres from west to east where your private entrance then brings you to the residence. Alternatively, you may arrive by water on your own private shore.

Designed to harmonize with the surrounding natural beauty, the home is nestled among mature forest, expansive lawns, and unspoiled oceanfront. The entrance from the oceanside deck opens to a vaulted-ceiling interior flooded with natural light from abundant windows, offering sweeping views of the coastline. The open-concept layout includes a spacious kitchen, dining area, and living room with a freestanding fireplace—perfect for family living and entertaining.

Upstairs, a generous primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and a private balcony with panoramic ocean views on three sides—an idyllic spot to greet the day. Two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large pantry, and a welcoming foyer provide ample space and functionality for families, creatives, and nature lovers alike.

Additional features include a well-built chicken coop with run, a fenced grassland area for ducks, and several storage outbuildings—all thoughtfully positioned to preserve the unobstructed ocean views. A majestic ‘mother’ cedar stands at the heart of the lawn, enhancing the sense of place and tranquility.

Nature lovers will delight in exploring the surrounding tidal zones, rich with marine life, crystals, fossils, and more. Cast for salmon, swim in crystal-clear waters, or set a crab trap steps from your door. As evening falls, paddle through phosphorescent waters under the stars. Relax on the covered front porch and take in the sights and sounds of the Pacific—where sea otters, seals, dolphins, and even orcas may pass by.

This unique property is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, offering serenity, self-sufficiency, and unforgettable natural beauty.
