THE STORY
The story of
John Muir.
Roots in Sooke’s farming and milling past
The Sooke Region Museum connects the Muir family with the community’s early farming and sawmilling history. The family established Woodside and a successful steam sawmill in the 1850s; nearby Muirside Cemetery preserves another part of that story. The neighbourhood’s name is a reminder of those local roots and the people who helped shape the later settlement of Sooke.
Established streets, family homes and access toward the coast give John Muir a comfortable neighbourhood feel. There is room here for different versions of home: a refreshed older house, a garden to make your own or a practical base close to western Sooke amenities. We will help you match that everyday appeal with the property details that matter to you.

JOHN MUIR · SOLD & PENDING MARKET SNAPSHOT
A year of sold and pending activity

18 sold and pending records · 17 marked sold (SLD) · 1 marked pending (PND).
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.
