Sproat Lake
19190 Pacific Rim Hwy.
3000 sq ft Custom Lake Front Home on Sproat Lake’s Taylor Arm west of Port Alberni on the Tofino Highway. The project started with a raw piece of vacant un-touched land and turned into a family vacation home for the past ten years and many more to come. Starting from raw land is a daunting task. Trees need to be removed, harvested, and sold to local sawmills, all services put in place as there are no city connections, power brought in, site cleared and graded before putting a shovel in the ground to start excavation for the house. Then once the house is completed, it’s the fun stuff of building docks, walkways and stairs for all to enjoy. This is my personal property and I am eternally grateful for being able to own this piece of property and enjoy the lake along side family and friends.
