Qualicum Real Estate

As a semi-rural community, the majority of the available listings in the Qualicum area are split between single-family homes and vacant lots. Land for sale is increasingly prevalent outside of Qualicum Beach, which is the largest community in the region. These lots can be zoned for residential use or commercial use, but the former is much more common. As a result, Qualicum largely attracts buyers looking to build a custom home. Although these properties are typically full-time residents (appealing to nature-lovers in particular), these may also be used as vacation homes or as rentals.  Vacant lots also offer more acreage for the price point, with even exclusive, waterfront properties popping up on the real estate market from time to time.

Explore Qualicum Land For Sale

Qualicum, which is made up of a number of small settlements, is semi-rural. Its towns and communities are surrounded by farmland and mature forests, making this area an attractive place to live for outdoor enthusiasts. Qualicum Beach, a town right on the coast, offers a lot of the amenities one would find in a city: chain stores and fast food restaurants, museums and galleries, and neighbourhood parks. Those who live in Qualicum can enjoy the tranquility of small-town life, while also easily travelling to the larger Vancouver Island cities.

One of Qualicum's biggest draws, beyond its ocean and mountain views, is its opportunities for outdoor recreation. Its most famous park is Little Qualicum Falls Provincial Park which, as the name suggests, features a spectacular waterfall what is accessible from the forest trails. To the west, closer to the center of the island, are a number of lakes, with Spider Lake and Horne Lake being the bigger attractions. Qualicum residents enjoy activities such as swimming, hiking, boating, off-roading, and more.

Qualicum Land Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Step Code 4?

A: The province of British Columbia has introduced a "step" standard for energy-efficient buildings. Step Code 4 requires that a home meet the standards in air tightness, equipment, and envelope. Some builders in Qualicum only build to meet these standards.

Q: Are there any new developments in the Qualicum area?

A: Homebuyers looking for vacant lots in Qualicum do have the option of purchasing a lot in a new neighbourhood, from a builder. Currently, Shelter Ridge is in development, a single-family home neighbourhood in Qualicum Beach. It is situated beside other new detached home developments.

Q: Is it possible to purchase a vacant lot on the waterfront in Qualicum?

A: Vacant lots for sale on the waterfront are more uncommon to find on the market, just because of their desirability and the limited space available. Qualicum, however, does typically have a variety of waterfront lots, though these properties do sell quickly.
