Location: 2255 Kitamaat Village Road, Kitimat, BC, V8C2P4
2255 Kitamaat Village Road offers a rare North Coast oceanfront setting along British Columbia’s Douglas Channel, with water views framed by surrounding coastal mountains. Known as Minette Bay Lodge, the approximately 6,500-square-foot residence can function as a family retreat or a guest-oriented lodge, set on roughly 77 acres with ocean frontage. The grounds feel intentionally immersive, with salmon-bearing creeks, forested walking trails, suspension bridges, a creekside orchard, and a bee yard—plenty to explore without leaving the property.
The main residence includes 11 bedrooms and seven bathrooms arranged across three levels, with interiors designed around comfort and warmth. Fir flooring runs throughout, complemented by custom cabinetry and open fireplaces that anchor the home’s primary gathering spaces. Bedrooms are fully appointed with furnishings and linens sourced from London and New York, along with feather beds and down comforters that reinforce a move-in-ready, stay-awhile atmosphere.

Outdoor living continues the home’s emphasis on slow, scenic days. Multiple verandas and terraces create comfortable places to sit with the view, highlighted by a 2,700-square-foot ocean-facing deck well suited for entertaining or quiet mornings outside. A BBQ supports open-air meals, while a fire pit and wood-fired hot tub make time outdoors inviting across seasons.
“Minette Bay Lodge stands as a secure, private, and fully realized oceanfront wilderness estate, where refined living and extraordinary nature exist in perfect balance.”
– Annette Cosens, Sotheby’s International Realty
In addition to furnishings, the property also includes practical features that support long-term use. Two additional rooms add flexibility—one that can serve as a game room or conference-style space, and another configured as a manager or caretaker suite. The home is equipped with high-speed internet, fire and safety systems, full-capacity services, generator backup power, and spring-fed water. Zoned G4-A (Rural Resort), the estate is suited to both residential living and hospitality-oriented use.
Despite its secluded atmosphere, Minette Bay Lodge remains closely connected. The property borders protected Haisla lands and sits within reach of the Great Bear Rainforest, yet the center of Kitimat is approximately five minutes away. Direct access to the Douglas Channel makes kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and whale watching easy and convenient. The estate can also serve as a base for jet-boat wildlife outings or helicopter fly-fishing excursions, with space to accommodate multiple helicopters. Nearby, the area offers additional recreation and amenities, including a flying club with a runway, two marinas, cross-country ski trails, a golf course, a curling club, and Shames Mountain for skiing.
Offered as a turnkey holding in northern British Columbia, Minette Bay Lodge represents a prime opportunity on the Canadian Northwest Coast—among the limited number of Mainland Pacific Ocean shorefront freehold properties in the region—with additional development potential. The property is currently listed for C$14,888,000.
