An entire private island in B.C. is for sale, and it's actually cheaper than the typical detached home in Vancouver.
Why bother buying a house in the city, when you can get a whole island to enjoy, for less money!
According to a report from WOWA, the benchmark price for a detached home in Vancouver, as of December 2021, is a steep $1,910,200.
The island — called Haddington Island — on the other hand, is only $1,695,000, according to the listing.
Vancouver is known for its pricey cost of living, but this amount is still somehow shocking, especially when you compare it to the island.
Haddington Island is just off of the coast from Vancouver Island, and you can boat right into Port McNeil in just 12 minutes. It's the perfect amount of privacy, without being totally isolated.
The island is 98 acres of peaceful nature, with beaches that you can sit on and look out at the stunning ocean.
There is even an area on the island that has been cleared and lived out, so it's ready to build on! The best part is that you can walk right from your future house, onto the shore of a beach. Not just any beach either — your own private beach.
The listing also said that close to the building site is "a concrete cistern fed by crystal clear, fresh spring water that reportedly flows year-round."
In addition to that, there are trails around the island and even a quarry!
It sounds like a magical place, with so much to be discovered.
