About 6850 Island Hwy W
You don’t just buy this property. You inherit the creek. This is 4.56 acres of ocean-view, creek-side parkland in Bowser, where Thames Creek winds through a deep ravine and nature does most of the talking. The setting is rare, private, and genuinely captivating, a place where mornings start with water sounds and end with west-coast light filtering through the trees. The home itself is honest and character-filled. 1,119 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, well cared for over the years with updated windows and a forced-air electric furnace, while still retaining its original charm. It sits on the only usable flat portion of the property, alongside an older detached garage/workshop. Zoned RS2, this parcel allows for two homes plus suites, with a registered covenant protecting the creek and its setbacks, preserving the natural beauty that makes this property so special. A rare opportunity for someone who values privacy, views, and land that feels more like a nature reserve than backyard.
