Vancouver is the busiest, most urban part of B.C.
For those looking for something completely different, there's Kyuquot Sound. The remote region on the west coast of Vancouver Island is west of the tiny village of Zeballos and in the traditional territory of the Kyoquot First Nation.
It's also home to a 2-bedroom floating camp that's just hit the real estate market.
And it's selling for less than a condo in Vancouver.
The float camp is currently listed for $295,000. Located in a cove off the western edge of Union Island, the floating house is in the middle of waters famous for fishing and marine wildlife.
While the area is remote, there is some human activity around Union Island and the sound's entrance. Most of it is from the Kyuquot village nearby or fishing lodges — there are at least a half-dozen in the area.
The house isn't on land at all but does come with an 8.6-acre foreshore tenure. Also, as there is no land as part of the deal, a License of Occupation is required. The current one runs until 2033.
Luxuries aren't included at the house, but it does have the basics, including a walk-in pantry, washer and dryer, and multiple freezers. There's even a jet tub.
According to the real estate listing, the house was built by a logger (Al Lavigne) as a floating home for his family. Lavigne also built the Slam Bang Lodge, which is a neighbour of sorts to the floating camp.
"While they were still logging, Al and family created Slam Bang Lodge to be able to share the amazing fishing resource with friends and guests," reads the listing.
The house is completely off any grids, with water from a creek on Union Island and electricity from a diesel generator. Most of the gear associated with the house is part of the sale.
