Bowen saw a pair of housing sales in January, both concentrated in the northeast section of the island. A property with acreage also sold in the north of Gambier Island.
The top sale of the new year sits at 1591 Eagle Cliff Road, the four-bed, two-bath home selling for $1.87 million. The 54-year old home measuring 1,475 square feet is located on a unique plot of land which spans across Old Eagle Cliff Road. Together the two pieces combine for 2.14 acres.
The eastern section of the property sits on the waterfront and includes a boathouse. There’s an area for a dock however a new one will need to be built after a storm destroyed the last one. The two storey cottage-style home has a wooden-walled interior, slanted roofs, and several skylights, along with a large outdoor deck.
A short trip south finds the island’s other sale of the month at 1293 Oceanview Road. The three-bed, four-bath home made up of two storeys and a basement measures 2,410 square feet and sits on a quarter-acre of land. It closed for $1.299 million.
The property offers views of the sea and mainland looking east through the neighbouring forest. It is also steps away from the trail down to Scarborough Beach. The main level includes a fireplace and kitchen island, along with a pair of decks. The basement has the potential to be its own one-bedroom suite and also includes an outdoor patio.
On Gambier a buyer was enticed by the offer of a 3.4 acre lot, scooping up the property in the Douglas Bay area of the island for $379,000. The land at 2552 Channel View Road is mostly flat and allows for construction of two structures. There’s a 325 square foot boathouse already on the property which can be used for accommodation in the meantime.
