Refined Coastal Estate

Minette Bay Lodge is a refined private coastal residence conceived as both an elegant family retreat and a world-class guest lodge, Gateway to the Great Bear Rainforest. It is one of the only Mainland Pacific Ocean Shorefront Freehold Properties on the Canadian Northwest Coast. Encompassing approximately 6,500 square feet, the Cape Cod–inspired home presents understated grandeur crafted for long, immersive stays in complete comfort. The property is zoned G4—A (Rural Resort), supporting both private and hospitality-oriented use, with much room to expand.

The lodge offers eleven bedrooms and seven bathrooms arranged across three levels, with interiors that recall a warm English manor house. Hand-finished fir flooring, open fireplaces, bespoke cabinetry, and carefully proportioned rooms create a sense of permanence and ease. StarLink is also in place for uninterrupted internet convenience. Verandas and terraces extend the living spaces outdoors, featuring a wood-fired hot tub and a separate fire pit/BBQ. A remarkable 2,700 square foot ocean-view deck provides an exceptional setting for entertaining, family gatherings, or quiet contemplation above the bay. Furnishings, fine linens sourced from London and New York, and feather-bedded accommodations reinforce a feeling of discreet luxury and turnkey readiness.

Set on a secluded 77-acre oceanfront estate, the lodge overlooks the calm waters of Douglas Channel and a dramatic coastal mountain backdrop. The grounds are rich and intimate: salmon-spawning creeks crossed by suspension bridges, forest walking trails, mature plantings, and a creekside orchard, all framed by native wilderness. Privacy is absolute, bordered by municipal parkland and protected Haisla lands, yet the property lies just five minutes from the town of Kitimat.

Supported by robust infrastructure—reliable power with generator backup, fire and safety systems, spring-fed water, high-speed internet, and full-capacity services, Minette Bay Lodge stands as a secure, private, and fully realized wilderness estate, where refined living and extraordinary nature exist in perfect balance.
