About 6850 Island Hwy W
You don’t just buy this property - you inherit the creek. Set on 4.56 acres in Bowser, this ocean view parcel feels more like a private nature reserve than a typical rural property. Thames Creek winds through a dramatic ravine below, creating a captivating setting where flowing water and surrounding forest define the atmosphere. The home offers 1,119 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, well cared for over the years with updated windows and a forced air electric furnace while retaining its original charm. It sits on the only usable flat portion of the land beside an older detached garage/workshop. Zoned RS2, the property allows for two homes plus suites. A registered covenant protects the creek and its setbacks, preserving the natural beauty of the ravine. A rare opportunity for someone who values privacy, ocean views, and land that feels more like a nature reserve than a backyard.
