14-acre water lot,170-slip marina, barge terminal, 50-ton boat lift. 17+ acres of prime real estate with significant development potential. Multiple revenue sources including commercial lease buildings. Trailer pad rentals, boat/RV storage, boat service yard and more.
LandQuest® Realty Corporation is pleased to introduce to you Freshwater Marina in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. This rare opportunity has been owned by the current owners since 1976 and it is the first time being offered for purchase. It is a well-established marina which encompasses a massive water lot tenure that is 14.28 acres in size. To top it off, it is surrounded by over 17 acres of prime real estate.
The area lies within a mixed-use commercial and light industrial area, which is quickly transitioning into a more modern, mixed-use area incorporating residential development of single and multifamily developments which are capitalizing on the benefits of the Campbell River delta and proximity to downtown and amenities.
Freshwater Marina is located minutes from downtown Campbell River and is situated at the mouth of the Campbell River where it drains into the ocean. Here, the water is predominantly fresh water, an ideal location to moor your boat. The level of maintenance is significantly reduced when storing your boat in fresh water versus salt, resulting in savings to the boat owner.
In addition to storing your boat in freshwater, all the moorage for the exception of “A” dock is covered by boat sheds, which again saves the boat owner money by sheltering the boat from the elements.
Moorage all over the BC coast is in high demand with limited supply, which has resulted in waitlists virtually everywhere.
The upland property consists of three separate land titles that total 17.36 acres in size, adjoining a massive 14.28-acre water lot for the marine operations.
The 17+ acre land package has multiple revenue sources including an RV park with 17 rental pads, multiple independent commercial lease spaces, a barge terminal, dryland storage for boats and RVs, and a boat yard complete with a 50-ton travel lift to haul out boats for storage and maintenance. Additionally, there is a boat launch, marina office and ample parking at the marina for tenants with moorage.
There is a significant amount of land that is under utilized that could yield additional cash flow if further developed.
Most of the land is zoned C5. This zone provides for waterfront related recreational, tourist, and marine oriented commercial uses. Some of the notable land uses under this zoning bylaw are:
Redevelopment of the site into a mixed use of commercial/industrial and or commercial/residential is warranted, putting the 17+ acres to a higher and better use.
Currently, there are 170 dedicated moorage slips that range in size to accommodate boats from 26 feet to 65 feet. Additionally, there is well over 500 ft of undedicated dock space providing flexibility for different uses. There is potential to expand further within the current tenure area for further boathouses, moorage or other marine use.
The property is fully serviced with electricity, City water, sanitary and storm sewer, natural gas, telephone, internet and garbage pickup. Fire protection is provided by the Campbell River Fire Department, which is only two kilometres away.
