Escape to Ruxton Island the hidden gem in the Gulf Islands—a tranquil, boat-access-only retreat where time slows down and nature takes center stage. Surrounded by warm sandstone shores and whispering forests of arbutus and fir, the island offers a rare kind of quietude. You'll find this 1.51 acre retreat at the head of a sheltered bay complete with your own private mooring bouy. This charming 2 bed, plus loft, 1 bath , off grid cottage offers a cozy feel complete with wood stove and two decks to relax and enjoy the ocean views while deer roam freely and eagles soar overhead. With no cars, no crowds, and only the hum of ocean breeze through the trees, Ruxton is a place to disconnect—and truly come home.
