Photos: Floating ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ fishing lodge selling for the same as Vancouver condo

There's getting away from the bustle of city life, and then there's this.

For those looking to get away from the city but stay near the ocean, "" could be the answer.

The off-the-grid floating fishing lodge is located off of Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island's west coast, in a little sheltered body of water called Critter Cove. It's essentially two cabins floating on connected docks, along with picnic tables, a fire pit, and more.

The lodge was built by a large family to create a place to fish and enjoy nature; as such, it has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. Those looking to follow in the family's footsteps could seek out salmon, halibut, spot prawns and more from the substantial structure.

it's relatively inexpensive when compared to other homes on ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½'s coast; in Vancouver, a condominium is what you're looking at for the same price.

That said, it's unlikely to be a permanent residence, given its remoteness and how rough winters can be on the Pacific, even in a sheltered cove. It's so remote the closest community is Gold River, an already relatively remote village; it's 40 minutes away by boat. The village of Tahsis is also close, relatively speaking.

However, it does have plenty on offer to hole up for a while: modern items like a dishwasher, satellite TV and a deep fryer (among other things).

It should be noted that because it's floating, no land is part of the deal.
