Isla Imelev, Castro

About This Island

Imalev Island is a 32-acre property within the Chiloé Archipelago – a collection of islands located between Chiloé Island and the Chilean mainland. As one of the smaller islands within the group, Imalev is well-sheltered on both flanks from the elements. The triangular property rises to a cliff on its south-southeastern edge – the 80-metre bluff features a lighthouse and drops sharply into the deep blue waters below. The western shoreline extends into a sandbar and can be walked. Much of Imalev’s interior habitat is characterised by prairie land, though there are some pockets of native vegetation. Though undeveloped beyond the maritime-army lighthouse, Imalev Island harbours natural water resources that could sustain residents. Future expansion is a real possibility.
