Escape to your own private piece of North Vancouver Island with this 20.77-acre rural acreage located just south of Benson Lake. Tucked away within an extensive network of forest service roads, the property offers excellent access to the region's many lakes, rivers, and outdoor recreation opportunities. The land features gently to moderately sloping terrain. Much of the acreage is covered in regenerating second-growth forest, while several open areas expose gravel and aggregate surfaces. Originally forming part of the historic Machete Mine claim, the property contains remnants of its past, including excavated areas and existing concrete structures that add character and interest to the site. Located near the Benson River and approximately 24 km from Port Alice, the nearest community with services and paved road access, this property presents a unique opportunity for those seeking privacy, adventure, and a remote North Island getaway surrounded by nature.
