Just a few doors from one of Denman Island’s most beautiful sandy beaches and a one-minute stroll from Fillongley Provincial Park, this charming 914 sq ft island cottage offers an exceptional connection to the outdoors. Set on a peaceful half-acre, the 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is full of warmth and original character, with maple floors, original kitchen cabinetry and a beautiful Norwegian Jøtul woodstove at the heart of the living space. One of the home’s most memorable features is the bright sunroom, thoughtfully converted into a bedroom. Surrounded by windows and looking into the garden, it creates the wonderful feeling of sleeping outdoors while remaining cozy and comfortable year-round. Outside, the property feels established and inviting, with beautiful specimen cedar and fir trees, productive apple and cherry trees, and plenty of room to garden, relax or simply enjoy the quiet island setting. A thoughtfully designed and well-built pump house protects the property's water source and reflects the same care and craftsmanship found throughout the property, offering heated storage along with generous covered space for bikes, kayaks and a canoe. From here, mornings can begin with a walk through the towering forest of Fillongley Provincial Park, an afternoon swim is only steps from home, and kayaks can be carried down to the sandy shoreline in minutes. Compact, comfortable and full of personality, this is the kind of Denman Island property that makes a simpler coastal lifestyle remarkably easy. Denman is just a short 10-minute ferry ride from Vancouver Island, with Hornby Island and its famous beaches only another quick ferry away — close to everything, but wonderfully away from it all.
