“The island is owned as a cooperative and therefore purchases must be approved by the islands residents as a whole,” realtor Ian Tang tells Daily Hive.
“This ensures an even higher level of exclusivity and control over the future of the island.”

There are just 39 homes on the island community, and only 74 shareholders are allowed at one time.
The peaceful environment is furthered by the limited number of cars on Hernando – it’s only accessible by plane or boat.

Tang says most of the owners are Vancouverites that use the island as a vacation destination in the summertime.
“Hernando is one of the most sought after islands in the Sunshine Coast,” he said.
