About this home
This gorgeous Bowen cottage sits just one back from waterfront, right behind the Mt Gardner government dock and neighbouring beaches of Galbraith Bay. Nearly 11-and-a-half acres of gorgeous forest, with flat spaces and stunning ocean views. Inside is well-maintained, cute and cozy, with an open plan LR/DR/Kitchen, office/den, primary bedroom above, and kids bed nooks off a fun rec room. Detached studio for man-cave or she-shed includes fireplace and bathroom. Wrap around decks take advantage of the views of Hutt and Gambier Islands, as well as the sunsets above the Sunshine Coast beyond. Properties rarely come up for sale along this stretch of Bowen, especially ones of this size. Please ask about available mooring buoy to be included.

Climate
What the weather is like in Vancouver
Ten year average, 2016–2025.
- Average temperature
- 10.6°C
- Daily mean across the year.
- Yearly precipitation
- 1,141 mm
- On the drier side for BC.
- Yearly snowfall
- 39 cm
- Snow is the exception here.
- Bright sunshine
- 1,938 h
- Hours of sun a year, 1981–2010 average.
Averaged from the last ten complete years of Environment Canada observations at the nearest principal station, so it reflects the climate as it is now rather than a thirty year normal. Bright sunshine is the exception: it is no longer measured at these stations, so that figure is the long term average.
