THE STORY
The story of
17 Mile.
A welcome along the old road
Long before Sooke Road carried today’s commuters, this eastern approach was a stopping place for travellers. The museum’s community history dates the 17 Mile House to 1894, when it began as the Royal Ensign hotel and restaurant. Its role as a stage stop gives the neighbourhood a memorable link to the days when a journey to Sooke was an occasion in itself.
Wooded properties and rural roads still give 17 Mile a sense of arrival. For buyers who want breathing room while keeping a connection toward the West Shore, the appeal is the blend of established local character, forest scenery and access toward the Sooke Basin. A garden, a workshop or a quieter home base can all be part of the conversation here.

17 MILE · SOLD & PENDING MARKET SNAPSHOT
A year of sold and pending activity
November 1, 2025–October 31, 2026 · using the sold-date search filter confirmed by New Chapter Real Estate Team. The snapshot includes both sold (SLD) and pending (PND) records returned in the supplied Matrix report, with property types kept separate.
6 sold and pending records · 6 marked sold (SLD) · 0 marked pending (PND).
Small samples: detached homes (4); residential land (2). With fewer than five records, individual properties can strongly affect these figures. A one-record median and range describe that record alone.
Pending status: Pending records are included in all figures above, using their reported prices and DoM. Statuses are as shown in the supplied report; pending records are identified separately and are not presented as completed transfers. Their prices or status may change.
Prices are rounded to the nearest dollar. The median is the middle reported price across sold and pending records, not the VREB HPI benchmark or a valuation of an individual property. Days on market use Matrix’s reported DoM field, rather than independently reconstructed cumulative marketing periods. Counts refer to MLS listing records.
