Bowen Island Listings

There's something to be said for island life.  

Bowen is such a beautiful place that's close enough, yet far enough away from the city and is easily accessible by ferry or water taxi. A quick 20 minute boat ride and you're docking in paradise.

When you roll off the ferry onto Bowen Island - you enter another world. A sense of ahhhh washes over as you feel the tension melt away.
The pace of life immediately slows down and the only traffic you have to deal with is the other cars getting off the ferry (we refer to this as the rush minute), people smile and wave and nature surrounds you.
The stores are locally owned boutique style shops, and the handful of restaurants all have a different flavor and style.

Whether you're looking for a part time home, or considering a full time move, it's helpful to work with an agent with local knowledge.
Bowen Island comes with its own set of unique characteristics and challenges. I understand the various nuances and I can help you navigate through them while searching for your home in paradise.

I maintain an excellent working relationship with the other agents on the island so that we can all work cooperatively to create a seamless transaction and a positive outcome.

Sealeigh Park + Bowen Bay 

Some would argue that Sealeigh Beach is one of the best on the island, and personally I think some of the best sunsets can be caught from Bowen Bay. These neighborhoods on the West side of the island enjoy warm sunny evenings and are located about 20 minutes from the ferry and the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the Cove. Most of the development took place from the 70s through to the 90s.
 

Bluewater + King Edward Bay

Blue Water is a neighborhood of approximately 150 homes on the West side of Bowen Island mainly developed in the 70s through to the 90s. There’s a mixture of ocean front properties, and hillside view properties throughout the area. King Edward Bay has been under development since 2007. Both areas are serviced by Municipal water and septic fields.

A collection of 90 homeowners share amenities such as tennis courts, a soccer field, a community dock and a hall for dances and parties. You basically need to be born into acquiring a home in this community!

Eagle Cliff is a narrow strip of waterfront land on the east side of Bowen Island and expands up the hillside. The higher up properties enjoy breathtaking views of the Howe Sound and the North Shore mountains.
