Quartz Bay is located on 88 stunning acres on the Northwest tip of Cortes Island in the midst of the Discovery Islands. Nestled in a protected harbour frequented by whales, with deep-water moorage and 5 docks for boats up to at least 165', this secluded water-access paradise is surrounded by thousands of acres of Crown land but is easily reached by boat or seaplane. The property has 2 km of trails connecting to Crown land and nearby Cork Lake, a spring with excellent water and several ponds, a creek that runs year-round, site milled lumber and on-site equipment for home construction, and more. Part of the property is on the island within the harbour, and this will be available for the use of the owners as well as generating revenue from private reservations.

The property has a colorful history as a former logging camp, homestead, and shellfish operation. There are still several picturesque buildings left from that time, including two workshops and a cottage which will be used as a common-use clubhouse with amenities. There are also four shellfish licenses which will be maintained for the benefit of the owners.

The listing offers 8 developed waterfront lots with stunning views of the Bay and the islands beyond, priced in the $900,000 to $1,900,000 range. The owners are also accepting one additional investor in the range of $750,000 USD to $1,500,000 USD who would have their own select building site as well as a proportional share of the revenue from additional lot sales and any other revenue generating activities.
