TWO LOTS, 2 TITLES, One with a Drilled Well and an additional shallow water source. Tucked in the quiet forests of Savary Island, short distance from excellent fun family activities, a short walk from trails leading to the beach, these two adjacent lots with a drilled well in place are perfect for a family build. This is a real head start on an island that runs off-grid, on solar and septic. Two separate titles give you flexibility: build one home and keep the second lot for a guest cabin, invite family to build alongside you, or sell it down the road. Savary is known as the Hawaii of the North, a crescent-shaped island with warm shallow water and miles of white sand beach, some of the warmest swimming north of Mexico. No bears, cougars, or raccoons, just deer, eagles, and otters, and a pace of life islanders protect fiercely. Reached by water taxi, boat, or floatplane from Lund, with a public wharf and regular service. More detailsListed by eXp Realty (CR)- Dean Thompson
