Along the water’s edge, this five-plus-acre parcel is set well back from Cowichan Lake Road, offering a notably private setting with a gently southward slope. A seasonal stream and a large pond—backed by a water license—bring a quiet, natural presence to the land, while the site is described as especially sunny and warm. Power is available to the building site, and zoning allows for a main home plus a smaller second home or suite, lending flexibility to future plans. Portions of the property lie beneath hydro lines, with other areas highlighted for their “very nice” natural setting; the corridor under the lines may be used for a tree farm or other crops under 10 feet. Transit service runs along the road, and the parcel sits near the proposed Paldi Village.

On a quiet crescent in sought-after French Creek, 1330 Gilley Crescent offers refined one-level living between Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The rancher has been thoughtfully upgraded, with over $100,000 in improvements already complete—updates that prioritize comfort and everyday ease. A 2017 kitchen renovation introduces quartz countertops and modern finishes, paired with updated flooring throughout for a cohesive feel. In 2018, the main bathroom was refreshed with a stylish walk-in shower. The primary suite, fully renovated in 2021, reads like a private retreat: heated tile flooring underfoot and a standalone soaker tub that invites slow evenings and unhurried mornings. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout balances practicality and calm, making daily life feel quietly elevated.
