Welcome to a rare opportunity in Sooke’s stunning rural landscape. This 5.486-acre (2.22-hectare) parcel, zoned RU 102, offers a versatile mix of permitted uses—including agriculture, aquaculture, and residential living—with potential for up to three single-family homes or one duplex. One secondary or small suite per home is also allowed, along with accessory uses such as bed & breakfasts, vacation rentals, and home-based businesses. While the lot size does not meet subdivision requirements (minimum 4 ha), it offers endless potential for a private retreat or hobby farm. An 800-foot (approx.) concrete driveway winds through the property to an elevated “top of the world” building site, offering privacy, expansive views, and excellent exposure for off-grid or alternative energy living. A street-side water connection is already in place, and although hydro service is not currently connected, a hydro transmission line runs through the property, presenting potential future utility options .Adding to its unique charm, the land features an existing unpermitted wood-framed structure—perfect for creative buyers seeking a head start on development or a temporary shelter while building their dream home. At the rear of the property lies a section of the historic Sooke Flowline, an abandoned 44-kilometre concrete aqueduct that once supplied water to the region. Now a hidden gem of the Sooke Hills, the Flowline offers a one-of-a-kind walking experience along its mossy, tree-lined route—ideal for nature lovers, hikers, and history enthusiasts alike. This is a truly special rural property with space, beauty, and character—ready for your vision to take shape.

    About

    Born and raised in Victoria, BC, I am fortunate to have a large network of friends and family which includes my husband of 25 years, Bo, our daughter, Tasha, who attends the University of Victoria and our 4 year old Chihuahua Roxy! I'm happiest when I'm busy working and when enjoying my other passions: golf, skiing, volleyball and travelling. Living in Brentwood Bay provides the perfect backdrop for a west coast lifestyle in a community setting which is important to me. My commitment to community includes Chairing the Construction Division of the United Way of Greater Victoria where I have been part of a large team who are improving the lives of everyday Victorians and truly making a difference.

    My interest in real estate started over 25 years ago when I became a Legal Assistant for many of Victoria's busiest law firms with a primary focus on real estate conveyancing. I honed my mediation, negotiation and customer service skills when I expanded into family law and personal injury claims. These acquired skills and experience connected me with Mohan Jawl, of Jawl Developments, a lawyer, real estate developer and principal of the locally-owned, family business. Starting in 1994, my role as Executive Assistant eventually lead to Real Estate Sales Manager and I was an integral part of assisting to develop the real estate portfolio including Sayward Hill, Mattick's Green/Wood at Cordova Bay Golf Course and the Selkirk Waterfront Community. From inception to completion, my roles were vast and included planning, rezoning, design drawings, project management, trade supervision, sales negotiation, contract under-writing, transaction supervision, deficiency review and final completion/move-in orientation. Handing keys to owners that I had worked with sometimes over 2 years to build their dream home was the best job satisfaction and reward I could ask for.

    My commitment to superior customer service and attention to detail ensures my clients are receiving the highest levels of professionalism, exceptional service and exceeding their expectations every day. Real estate is my passion; people are my priority!
