Private island near Sidney costs less than a Victoria home
Ever dreamed of owning your own private island? Little Shell Island, nestled in British Columbia’s stunning Southern Gulf Islands, offers the kind of exclusivity and serenity that city living just can’t match — and it costs less than some homes in Victoria.
Located just off the Saanich Peninsula near Swartz Bay and Sidney, Little Shell Island is one acre and comes equipped with a protected all-tide deep-water dock, making it easy to hop on your boat for a five-minute ride to either Port Sidney Marina or Canoe Cove Marina. The island has been listed since 2021.
Unique Properties
Little Shell Island is ready for you to turn your dreams into reality. The designated building site can accommodate up to 4,000 square feet of living space. While there are existing structures — including a quaint beach house that may be grandfathered in, a bunkhouse, and a storage building — it definitely requires some work and is ready (paperwork-wise) to take it on.
Unique Properties
Little Shell Island is a project, in a sense, and it gives you the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind retreat. Imagine sipping your morning coffee with 360-degree water views, embarking on a kayaking adventure from your private dock, or hosting friends and family in your bespoke island oasis.
