Vancouver Island Waterfront Homes For Sale

Start with a blank slate and empty lot to custom build, fix up an oceanside cottage, or move into a luxury home with views of lapping waves. The options for living in a Vancouver Island waterfront home are endless.

Each home will present a unique combination of features, in large part varied by the type of water it borders. Riverfront and lakeside homes may straddle sandy beaches, while oceanfront homes often boast dockage and views from rocky bluffs. What they all have in common is access to the outdoor lifestyle so coveted by island residents. If you’re the boating type, inquire about homes for sale near marinas or look for a property with a private dock.

West coast living goes hand-in-hand with waterfront ownership: uncover the wildlife, journey through the trails, and glide across the cool waters. Local culture is teeming, and on any given weekend you can find farmers markets, art studio tours, and dinner specials at world-class establishments. Ask the locals about their favourite spots, and you'll soon have a long list!
