A private island just off the West Coast of Vancouver Island is currently on the market with some amazing features, but you’ll have to empty your pockets if you want the natural paradise.

Neilson Island, located off the shore of Tofino, features a 3,726-square-foot, architect-designed home on a 21.5-acre property.

According to realtor Engel & Volkers Vancouver Island North, Neilson Island is completely off-grid and “the definition of the West Coast lifestyle.” And it can all be yours for just $10 million.

The single-family home was constructed in 2013 and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is also a nearby guest cabin for visitors to stay in.

Enjoy unmatched coastal views through the expansive windows, or get close to nature by exploring the trail system through Neilson Island.

There is also a sheltered, deep-water moorage with wharf, ramp, and float for when you need to take a boat to Tofino or elsewhere in the area.

And when you need a chance to unwind, gather in one of the five sitting areas around the private island to take in the lush forests and awe-inspiring scenery.
