If owning a private island is a personal dream for yours, you’re in luck — a private island retreat just off Swartz Bay could be yours for a cool $7 million.

Set on 6.2 acres, Pym Island is a short 10-minute boat ride from Vancouver Island’s Canoe Cove Marina.

The island estate sits along an incredible 2,700 feet of ocean frontage that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding islands, Mount Baker, and the Olympic Mountain range.

It comes with one mansion, five guest cottages, a caretaker’s residence, a tennis court, and two speedboats that will allow you to come and go as you please.

Sotheby’s describes the property as a paradise that “maintains all of the solitude of a private island without the isolation and lack of services.”

Pym Island leaves little to chance, having full electrical connection to BC Hydro’s grid, and backup water connection both to Vancouver Island, a backup diesel generator, two massive freshwater holding tanks, island-wide fire suppression stations, and several outbuildings for tools, vehicles, and firewood.
