Lands End

Neighborhood Overview

Why Buyers Choose Lands End

Lands End is the category-defining argument for North Saanich. The 270-degree ocean views from the northern tip of the Saanich Peninsula are not available anywhere else at comparable prices in British Columbia: similar quality of view, privacy, and waterfront character in West Vancouver or Whistler would cost three to five times more. Listings here trade infrequently because owners who understand what they have do not sell, which is itself a signal about the long-term hold quality of these properties. Buyers who are evaluating Lands End typically have the option of Ardmore, Uplands in Oak Bay, or Roberts Bay in Sidney as alternatives, and the Lands End case rests on the combination of view quality, lot size, and the dramatic natural landscape that the headland position provides.

Typical Homes in Lands End

Lands End properties are uniformly large-lot waterfront or near-waterfront estates. The entry to the neighbourhood at $2.2 million typically represents an older home on a premium view lot that has not been recently updated, or a smaller oceanfront property on the lower western side of the headland. The core of the market from $3 million to $5 million covers established estates on 1-acre or larger lots with clear Haro Strait frontage and Gulf Islands views. Trophy properties with architectural significance, deepwater moorage, or multiple acres of dramatic headland terrain command $5 million to $9 million and represent the rarest inventory on the entire Peninsula. Most properties require meaningful renovation investment regardless of asking price, as the land and location are what buyers are primarily acquiring.
