Where cozy meets waterfront views. This two-bedroom Ucluelet home is pretty much the gold standard of Vancouver Island living, complete with an open living/dining/kitchen floorplan, fire pit, and even its own gazebo and viewing deck! If you want to be close to Tofino but prefer smaller towns, you won’t have to compromise either with this property.

For folks who always wanted a treehouse growing up, you’ll want to check this out. This massive 5-acre property is 23 minutes away from Smithers, BC, and features not one, but two heated treehouses, plus a ton more quirky spaces and outdoor amenities.

If you’re trying to make a permanent getaway somewhere out in the wilderness, then this is the perfect self-sustainable bubble to retreat to. Enjoy luxurious baths every night in a large soaker tub while sipping your natural mountain spring water, and entertain guests in your covered outdoor kitchen.

This B.C. home is a great family home base, located on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from downtown Hope and Kawkawa Lake.

The five-bedroom/three-bathroom home features a partially covered deck overlooking a large, private backyard, detached workshop and shed area, and plenty of space to cultivate a garden. The lower level has a fully-contained two-bedroom suite that would make a great guest house, among many other uses.

Gibsons – $899,000

Located in the rural Roberts Creek area, this charming three-bedroom home feels like you’re living in the middle of the forest. The property is surrounded by mature trees and features a 750 sqft patio for you to enjoy some seriously stunning views.

At the bottom of the property is a bunkie (a small, multi-purpose cabin) as well as a detached studio space that would make a gorgeous home office in the trees.

Did we mention there’s a skylight in nearly every room??

Who wouldn’t want to live in wine country?? In addition to vineyards, Kelowna is surrounded by beautiful provincial parks and pine forests, making it an ideal place for city dwellers to settle.

This one-of-a-kind cottage boasts Douglas fir doors, large, modern windows, a massive garage, and a top-floor balcony perfect for sunning. The house can be purchased with or without an adjoining lot, which would add another $225,000 to the price tag.

Chilliwack is evolving from an agricultural community to a suburban dream come true, complete with its own farmers’ markets, local shops, and even music festivals. This two-bedroom “Rancher” is a great option if you’re looking to call Chilliwack home–it comes with a great kitchen design, a cozy corner fireplace to curl up by, and an ensuite soaker tub.

Squamish – $999,000

Due to increased demand, luxury homes and apartment complexes have begun popping up all over downtown Squamish.

This massive, modern home is the priciest on this list, but we can certainly see why. Spacious, 4-level open-concept space, rooftop sky lounge, and mountain views don’t come cheap! The townhouse is within walking distance of Northyard Plazas as well as Squamish’s stunning bike trail network, along with bakeries, breweries, and more.

Well, that’s all for now, Vancouver! If you’re not quite ready to dive into the world of homeowning, there are some great rental options out there, too.
