A 248 m² median size indicates properties on large lots or with outbuildings. Confirm water, septic and road access for forested lots. See Canada's land and house pages. Most of the sample sits between about €335,000 and €625,000, so listings far above that are usually large lakefront or acreage properties. Ask about floodplain mapping near the river and any covenants on forestry land.

The Cowichan Valley
The town sits at the east end of Cowichan Lake, beside the Cowichan River, a famed salmon and tubing river. It is surrounded by forest, with logging heritage and growing tourism. Duncan, about 30 minutes away, provides the main services. Winters are wet, summers pleasant. Buyers are retirees, remote workers from Victoria or Vancouver, and outdoor lovers.
Overseas buyer rules
The federal ban on non-Canadian purchases of residential property runs to 1 January 2027. In British Columbia, a 20% foreign buyer tax applies in specified regions, and property transfer tax is payable on purchases. A BC lawyer should confirm whether the municipality is caught. See our Canada consultation guide and Canada financing guide. Closing costs include legal fees, title insurance and property transfer tax, and strata fees if you buy an apartment.
