Some places stop you in your tracks. Myrtle Rocks is one of the most photographed spots on the Sunshine Coast, and here it is framed in your front windows, changing with every tide. Set on 2.44 acres with about 132 feet of walk-on beachfront, this rare property pairs a custom 2010 home with seven rental homes and excellent long-term tenants, so the rentals help carry your oceanfront lifestyle. For a pure investment, the main home can be rented out as well.
Step down onto the beach and, at low tide, walk straight out to Myrtle Rocks. The southwest exposure brings long afternoons of sun and views down Malaspina Strait and across to Texada Island. The beach out front is filled with clams and oysters, and the water is alive with seals, sea lions and passing humpback whales and orcas, while birdwatchers will feel right at home.
Launch a kayak from the shore and paddle around the rocks, or head out for excellent salmon fishing and prawning, all close by. Fencing and hedges keep your waterfront private from the neighbouring property.
Built in 2010 and beautifully kept, the custom home is finished in low-maintenance Hardie shingle and siding. Inside, 10 ft ceilings, real hardwood floors and an open-concept kitchen, living and dining area make the most of the light and the view, with large French doors from the living, dining and family rooms opening toward the ocean. A built-in vacuum and generous storage throughout make everyday living easy.
The chef's kitchen is made for gathering, with a large island, built-in wall oven and microwave, induction cooktop with pot filler, a double-door stainless fridge and freezer, and a wet bar with wine fridge. On cooler evenings, propane fireplaces warm both the living room and the family room, and laundry sits conveniently on the same floor.
Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, with a powder room for guests on the upper floor. The master bedroom looks out to the ocean and offers a large walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite with heated tile floors, a soaker tub, separate shower, his-and-hers sinks and a private toilet room. Two bedrooms on the ground level give family and guests their own space, alongside a one-car garage and shop.
Outside, composite decks offer plenty of room to entertain and dine with the ocean as your backdrop. From morning coffee to evenings with friends, Myrtle Rocks and the open water are part of every day in this home.

Recreation in Powell River is both diverse and exceptional, offering a seamless blend of ocean and land-based experiences. From boating, kayaking, and fishing along the coastline to championship golf, organized sports, and an extensive network of mountain biking and hiking trails, the opportunities are endless. Surrounded by countless pristine lakes and forested landscapes, the region is widely regarded as a natural playground, attracting those who value an active, outdoor lifestyle in a truly spectacular coastal setting.
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.
