5 British Columbia Homes from Ocean-View Lots to Downtown Lofts

Perched safely above the shoreline, this private high-bank lot in Silver Spray Marina Estates looks out over the protected waters of East Sooke. Sweeping ocean views take in the Salish Sea, forested islands, and the distant Olympic Mountains, while dramatic rock outcroppings, mature trees, and the site’s natural topography create a sense of seclusion and a distinctly West Coast setting. Set within a thoughtfully planned oceanfront enclave, the property sits adjacent to more than 3,600 acres of East Sooke Regional Park—bringing world-class hiking, kayaking, and coastal exploration close at hand. Owners may also register for priority moorage at the future Silver Spray Marina. Here, the days are shaped by salt air, ever-changing light, and an outlook designed for a custom home that lives in step with the landscape.
