The town of Lake Cowichan (not to be confused with the body of water that it sits on, Cowichan Lake) is roughly an hour drive south of the city of Nanaimo and inland in Central Vancouver Island. Though this community has a small population (about 3,000 people as of 2024), it is recognized for its tranquil atmosphere and beautiful views, making this is popular choice for vacationers. Full duplexes for sale in Lake Cowichan offer rare opportunities for additional income, whether owners reside on the property or not, and can be an excellent investment.

Lake Cowichan Real Estate

Situated on Cowichan Lake, the 30-kilometre body of water that's a popular destination for boating, swimming, and other outdoor activities, Lake Cowichan is primarily a vacation destination. As a smaller community, the real estate market is mostly made up of single-family properties, though there are some duplexes, built both originally or converted over time. This community is smaller, but is seeing some new development, particularly west of Laketown Ranch Music & Recreation Park. Full duplexes are rare to find on the market and therefore present an incredible opportunity for prospective buyers.

Explore Lake Cowichan Full Duplexes For Sale

When it comes to new developments and subdivisions in Lake Cowichan, the majority are custom single-family homes. Woodland Shores, for example, is one of the newer luxury developments. There are some duplexes to be found, however. Elk Heights is the newest development and is located off of Elk Road in the northwest end of Lake Cowichan. These properties are quite contemporary in appearance, and come with some desirable features—open-concept floor plans, large yards, and electric fireplaces being just a few. These homes are typically sold as half duplexes and not as full duplexes, unfortunately.

Duplex properties are considered to be rental opportunities first and foremost, but do also make excellent family homes. Homeowners do have the option of living in one half of the duplex and renting out the other, or renting both sides at once. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms within either unit make these properties suitable for a range of possible tenant, including couples, families, and seniors. Lake Cowichan as a community is quite laid back, but does have the amenities that a full-time resident would want to have, such as shopping, dining, schools, and entertainment.
