      Marketed as a perfect getaway, a small cabin in Bowen Island has sold for almost $500,000.

      The hut measures 200 square feet, based on the listing by RE/MAX Crest Realty.

      The 572 Smugglers Cove Road property is an easy 10-minute walk from the road and waterfront.

      The cabin has a “loft and separate bathroom with compost toilet”.

      “Propane fridge, stove and lighting but has not been used for a while so buyer will need to do their own due diligence,” the listing stated.

      The Bowen Island real estate came on the market on July 6 asking $499,000.

      It sold six days later on July 12 for $490,000.

      The property has a 2022 valuation of $337,600, mostly for the land where the hut sits on.

      B.C. Assessment numbers indicate that the 0.73-acre lot is worth $314,000.

      Meanwhile, the shack is valued at $23,600.

      The address offers views of Gambier Island and Howe Sound.
