Islands – For Buyers And Sellers

Finding the right island — and closing on it with confidence — means understanding factors that rarely come up in a typical sale, including:

Read

• Unencumbered freehold title and ownership structure
• Potable water availability
• Electricity and power infrastructure
• Foreshore information and dock space
• Free or restricted markets and infrastructure
• Archaeological considerations
• Year-round access — is it available in every season?
• Medical access, and much more

Whether an island is an investment strategy or a private getaway dream come true, every purchase and sale involves numerous and complex details. The LeBlanc Group and Engel & Völkers bring the market knowledge, international reach, and attention to detail needed to bring those pieces together — so that buying or selling your island is an exhilarating rather than stressful experience. From the many scenic islands off the coast of British Columbia to properties further afield, our team understands the intricacies involved and is equipped to guide you through every stage of the transaction.

One of the most important aspects of island real estate is title, which in most cases should include complete ownership of the entire property. Our team’s approach is built on integrity, discretion, and a results-oriented process. Backed by a global network and the marketing strength of Engel & Völkers, sellers receive exceptional international exposure, and buyers are shown only those properties that genuinely fit their criteria. Privacy, honesty, and meticulous attention to detail are what allow the LeBlanc Group to serve island buyers and sellers at the highest level.

Custom-built 2560sqft west coast contemporary oceanfront home in Hecate Channel, just west of Tahsis Narrows, surrounded by forest, and with low bank open waterfront. The lower level has storage and the systems room, with stairs up to the main level where the centre of the home offers open living space, with a large modern kitchen, living room and dining area. The home features timber frame accents, vaulted ceilings with a wood finish, skylights, a wall of windows and a full-width deck. The primary bedroom has French doors out to the deck, a wood stove, and 3-piece ensuite. The home has been vacant for several years and has been affected by weather and unauthorized visitors. There is both clean up and finishing work to be done, however the bones of this home are solid. There is a septic system, and domestic water comes from a local creek. A dock and ramp provide access onto neighbouring Crown land, with a trail to the property. Amazing location on the west coast of Vancouver Island!
