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.
Rare opportunities like this come along once in a generation. Perched at the highest point on Gabriola Island, this exceptional 26.7 acre estate offers a fully serviced, ready to build homesite with sweeping, unobstructed views across Northumberland Channel, the Gulf Islands, and out to the Olympic Peninsula. Set safely back from a dramatic 300 foot cliff, the cleared building site captures stunning vistas of sailboats, killer whales, and eagles riding the thermals, while the property itself is divided by Dempsey Road into two distinct sections - one offering gently sloped forest with potential sea views, and the other delivering the dramatic cliffside outlook with guaranteed privacy. The land is fully accessible on both sides, with a lower bench adding further potential. Adding significant value, an annual foreshore lease generates more income than the property taxes.
