Description : YOUR OWN PRIVATE ISLAND AT THE PASSAGE TO DEPARTURE BAY! A short distance to the 2010 Olympics, Hollywood North, The U.S. border and YVR International Airport. This 9 acre fully serviced Island is located in Departure Bay Nanaimo off Vancouver Island. Watch the dolphins, fish for salmon, golf and find world renown scuba locations at your doorstep. The lightbeacon at the East end of this 9 plus acre private Island guides the B.C. Ferry to safe harbor at Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. Jesse Island is a promontory which is densely covered with original growth pine, cedar, madrona and oak trees as well as native blackberries upon which descendants of goats brought to the Western Archipelago by explorers centuries ago feed to this day. Groomed trails meander through this unspoiled foliage giving visitors views of wild animals and birds such as the bald eagles which nest in the trees overhead. Contrasting with the primitive nature of the East 1/2 of the Island which faces into the rising sun and toward the snow capped mountains of Whistler Ski Resort (which will host the 2010 Winter Olympics), the West end of the Island has been improved with a log constructed family retreat with 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, library and 2 car garage. nice large beach area's and deepwater dock.
