22 acre Dick Island enjoys fabulous southern and western exposure with views across the strait of Georgia towards Vancouver Island, with the benefit of being connected to the provincial power utility (BC Hydro). The island sits just outside the southern edge of Gillies Bay in very close proximity to Texada Island, connected by a sand spit that is walkable at low tides. Shelter Point Regional Park on Texada is across from the island, and there are two boat launches and parking nearby. There is regular ferry service from Powell River to Texada Island, and the small community of Gillies Bay offers services and amenities. The island boasts some old growth large cedar and fir as well as arbutus trees, windswept mossy bluffs to oyster beach, walk-on sandy beach and small rock bays. The island has been modestly developed with two small cabins and some trails. A power line runs from Texada underground to the island and then across to the cabin site on the west side of the island. The two small cabins are in a natural clearing on the west side of the island, with sweeping ocean vistas across to Vancouver Island providing great framing for sunsets. The smaller of the two is a 9ft x 8ft sleeping cabin (bunkie), with a built in bed platform and upper shelving. This is a very basic log cabin structure on a pad and post foundation with a metal roof. The larger building is a 14ft x 20ft one room log cabin with wood decking. There are French doors out to the deck and large windows. The interior is designed with a kitchen, bedroom area, and living area with a woodstove. Domestic water is currently rain catchment, however there is a water license easement. This building has power and water. Both cabins are in serviceable condition and could be used as temporary residences while building a main residence, or they could be updated and renovated into recreational cabins for continued use.
