Neighborhood Overview
William Head is a distinctive coastal area in southwestern Metchosin featuring dramatic ocean cliffs, protected coves, and some of the region's most spectacular waterfront real estate with unobstructed views across Juan de Fuca Strait. This exclusive neighborhood encompasses William Head peninsula and surrounding coastal properties, offering privacy, natural beauty, and direct ocean access that appeals to affluent buyers seeking premier West Coast living.
Why Buyers Choose William Head
The dramatic coastal topography of the William Head peninsula, with cliffs, sheltered coves, and unobstructed Strait views to the Olympic Mountains, creates a landscape that is genuinely different in character from any other Metchosin waterfront subarea. The maritime heritage of the peninsula adds historical depth to an already exceptional natural setting. Marine wildlife including seals, sea lions, eagles, and seasonal whales is observable from private shoreline on many properties.
Typical Homes in William Head
Premier waterfront estates on larger lots, with private beach access and sheltered cove frontage, form the top of the market at $3 million and above. A smaller number of more modest rural properties on the approach road to the peninsula offer a more accessible entry at $975,000 to $1.5 million. Inventory is among the most limited in the entire Westshore region; this subarea consistently has fewer than two or three active listings at any given time.
