A coastal retreat
inside the urban boundary.
Start with the property boundary and then walk the practical route to the shore. For an inland home, a comfortable walk to public access may give you much of the setting without the upkeep of frontage. For waterfront, spend time on exposure, slope and legal access before getting attached to the view.
Detached homes dominate, from modest mid-century houses to major renovations and contemporary waterfront architecture. Lots can be steep, rocky or heavily treed, and the most valuable properties combine privacy with durable water views or direct shoreline relationships.
A little local history
Ten Mile Point is treated as a distinct peninsula within the Cadboro Bay local area plan. Its irregular shoreline and wooded residential streets create a different setting from the village and the sandy beach at the head of the bay.
