Coakers Island

Coakers Island — 484 freehold acres of untouched ocean-view wilderness in the sheltered waters of Dildo Run, Newfoundland. Zoned rural, boat or seaplane access, minutes from the New World Island causeway and the tourism hub of Twillingate. Named for Sir William Coaker—founder of the Fishermen's Protective Union and a Parks Canada National Historic Person—who farmed ""Coakerville"" on an island in this very run. Mature forest, rocky shoreline, protected anchorage, iceberg sightlines in season. A rare canvas for a private eco-resort, a family legacy holding, or a conservation preserve. At roughly $2,893 per acre, this is the largest and lowest per-acre private island currently offered in Atlantic Canada. (id:66441)
