(Please note price is in US dollars.) Vargas Island lies off the west coast of Vancouver Island, about 20 minutes from Tofino, via small boat. A wilderness island retreat awaits your pleasure on totally unspoiled Vargas Island, located in the pristine Tofino area, near Brabant Channel. This Island paradise offers miles of beaches, old growth forest, your own hiking trails, and the majestry of the Pacific Northwest coast surrounding you! It is easy to speak in superlatives with this 65.48 acre beauty! Fly in (one can land a small plane on the hard packed sands of these beaches, or arrive by helicopter (lots of potential helipad spaces), or come by boat (approx. 20 minutes out of Tofino). This area is a kayaker's paradise! With vistas all the way to Japan, and back towards Vancouver Island's rugged "west coast", and sunny exposures (s/sw/w), this parcel is a very rare beauty, indeed! An incredible holding property for the future...pristine land, such as this, is a very rare commodity. See Li to arrange your personal tour!
