5 British Columbia Homes and Acreages from Sooke to Castledale

Set on 5.486 acres along Sooke River Road, this RU 102–zoned property balances privacy with a wide range of permitted rural uses, from agriculture and home-based businesses to the potential for up to three single-family homes or one duplex (plus suites). An 800-foot concrete driveway arrives at a dramatic “top of the world” building site with panoramic views—an unforgettable setting for an off-grid vision. A street-side water connection is already in place; there is no hydro service, though a hydro transmission line runs through the land. Also included is a wood-framed structure built without permit, offering a practical head start for future plans. At the rear, the historic Sooke Flowline— a decommissioned 44 km concrete aqueduct—creates a distinctive forest walking trail, moments from Sooke.

On a vibrant street in East Vancouver’s beloved Commercial Drive neighbourhood, Templeton by Dimex introduces a new Passive House community designed for modern city living. This 2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom townhome balances chic design with flexible spaces meant to evolve with your family’s needs.

Passive House construction can save up to 90% in heating costs and is designed to support a healthier indoor environment, with A/C roughed in for future comfort. The home also qualifies for an RBC Green Mortgage. One storage locker is included, with no parking—yet plenty of bike storage for everyday rides to nearby shops, restaurants, and coffee spots.

Along the waterfront setting of Mayne Island’s sought-after Lighthouse neighborhood, this turnkey, single-level residence balances comfort with modern upgrades.

Outdoors, the experience expands into two gardens filled with vibrant flowering trees and shrubs, creating a calm, green backdrop for daily life. A newly constructed front deck sets the scene for open-air meals and casual gatherings, and an intimate backyard patio offers a quieter place to unwind. With parks and beaches just moments away, the home feels connected to both nature and community—an inviting base for slow mornings, garden afternoons, and lingering evenings outside.

Set on a private 0.36-acre lot in Nanaimo’s desirable Pleasant Valley, this well-cared-for property balances everyday convenience with a quieter, garden-forward way of living. Inside, the layout includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a den, and a bonus room, with thoughtful updates such as hardwood flooring upstairs and cherry wood kitchen cabinetry. Two wood-burning fireplaces bring an easy warmth that suits slow mornings and long evenings alike. Outdoors, the fully fenced, landscaped, and sprinklered yard unfolds with a peaceful pond, an upper deck, and a hot tub area tucked beneath it. A large shed/workshop adds flexibility, while fruit and nut trees—hazelnut, apple, pear, walnut, and cherry—plus grape vines make the setting feel generous and established. A large paved driveway offers RV or boat parking, just steps from schools, shopping, transit, and walking trails.

From its elevated Columbia Valley setting, this 70+ acre retreat unfolds as a panoramic mix of rolling hills and forested surroundings, with Rocky Mountain and Purcell Mountain views in every direction. Life here is defined by what’s just outside your door: horseback riding, ATVing, biking, snowshoeing, sledding, and cross-country skiing, all with easy access from the property itself. A 2 bedroom, 1 bath home and an oversized double detached garage await an owner ready to add final touches, offering a simple base camp for days spent outdoors and quiet evenings at home. Despite the sense of peace and seclusion, the property is easily reached off Highway 95, about a 30-minute drive to Radium Hot Springs or Golden—an everyday rhythm of privacy, perspective, and open-air adventure.
