Looking for the perfect property to embrace a rural lifestyle or establish a home-based business? This 5.42-acre wooded parcel in Buckley Bay on Eastern Vancouver Island presents a rare opportunity to do just that. Zoned Country Residential One, the property allows for two dwellings plus a variety of outbuildings, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or income potential. The zoning also permits home occupation and certain domestic industrial uses—ideal for ventures such as a bed & breakfast, dog grooming operation, or small-scale kennel—alongside a broad range of agricultural activities including growing, rearing, harvesting, processing, and direct farm-gate sales. Low-impact recreational uses are also permitted, making this a versatile holding for those seeking both lifestyle and business potential. Significant groundwork has already been completed to support your vision. A levelled and prepared building site is in place, surrounded by a thoughtfully engineered drainage system, including 6-inch perforated lines along the upslope sides and 4-inch perforated lines on the downslope sides, as well as a 4-inch perimeter drain running to the road. Access is easy via a wide gravel driveway with a 30-foot culvert already installed. Adding further value is a certified Type 3 septic system designed to accommodate either a 4-bedroom residence or a 3-bedroom home with an attached business use, giving you flexibility as your plans evolve. Set in a peaceful, natural setting while remaining conveniently located along the Island Highway corridor, this property offers the ideal balance of privacy, usability, and long-term potential in one of Vancouver Island’s most desirable rural communities.
