Lot 42 Sonora Island

1. 7 acre oceanfront property in Owen Bay, a popular recreational development on Sonora Island in the Discovery Islands with a small complement of full-time residents and government dock facilities. A gravel road from the dock leads through the Owen Bay development and directly past this property.

This undeveloped property offers 283ft tidal oceanfront that looks across the water to Busby Island. The waters between the two are narrow enough to cross at low tides. The water in this channel is warm enough for summer swimming and nicely protected.

The property rises to a bench midway and then slopes down to the water’s edge. A parking area has been cleared at the roadside. An approx.

15x15ft platform with a tent on it was built on the bench, while a 10x20 platform foundation was built closer to the water, for the start of a cabin. The property is nicely treed, with a friendly, walkable topography. A shallow draft boat could be brought in at low tide to where the public road right of way accesses the waterfront, one lot over from this one.

A truck that the sellers have used for transporting materials from the dock and the barge landing is on site and is included in the offering. The government dock in Owen Bay was expanded and upgraded in 2026. The layout and size now offer more moorage opportunities.

Owen Bay is located on the south side of Sonora Island on Okisollo Channel, just above Hole in the Wall. It has a long homesteading history on the coast; approximately 100 years ago it was a thriving coastal community and at times was home to a school, church and general store. Campbell River is approximately 45 minutes away by boat and provides an excellent centre for supplies and services.

Other areas such as Browns Bay on Vancouver Island or Heriot Bay on Quadra Island provide even quicker access through primarily protected waters.
