Tan Island is the definitive "Pacific Northwest Jewel." Spanning 40 acres of lush, temperate rainforest and rugged shoreline, the estate is anchored by two custom-built log residences positioned at opposite ends of the island to ensure total privacy. Unlike most remote islands, Tan Island is serviced by BC Hydro, bringing urban reliability to a wild setting. With two oyster leases included and infrastructure ranging from workshops to fruit orchards, this is a fully realized, self-sustaining kingdom that captures the true spirit of the BC coast.
Property Details
The estate features a sophisticated collection of structures (approx. 6,536 sq. ft. total) designed for high-capacity hosting:
The Main Residences: Two primary log homes, including one custom-built using timber harvested directly from the property, featuring open-concept living, vaulted ceilings, and wraparound decks.

With a vast and diverse shoreline, the island provides an elite maritime experience:
Deep-Water Docks: Two private, deep-water docks ensure effortless year-round access for large vessels and easy departure for exploring the nearby fjords.
Oyster Leases: The sale includes two active oyster leases, offering a unique opportunity for aquaculture or a private supply of world-class Pacific oysters.
Foreshore Rights: The island boasts significant walk-on waterfront and extensive moorage capabilities within the sheltered waters of the harbour.
Lifestyle & Value
Tan Island represents one of the most comprehensive private island offerings in British Columbia. It combines the architectural warmth of a West Coast log home with the institutional security of five separate titles and grid power. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary or a one-of-a-kind commercial boutique resort, Tan Island offers a sovereign-scale investment in the most beautiful coastal corridor of the Pacific Northwest."
