Description
Escape to Ruxton Island, a hidden gem in the Gulf Islands—a peaceful, boat-access-only retreat where life slows and nature takes the lead. Framed by warm sandstone shores and quiet forests of arbutus and fir, this island offers a rare sense of calm. Set at the head of a protected bay, this 1.51-acre property includes a private mooring buoy for easy access. The charming off-grid cottage features 2 bedrooms plus a loft, 1 bath, a cozy wood stove, and two decks ideal for taking in ocean views. Seals and otters swim by, eagles soar above, and with no cars or crowds, Ruxton Island is the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and truly feel at home. Included in the sale 19.5' Legend XCaliber boat and 135 Mercury Engine!
